Can anyone confirm what I'm seeing? That the lessor is responsible for the repair of the pool in a timely manner?
The first clause you quote refers to the lessee (you).
Quote Quoting silly2988
Lessee will keep and maintain the premises and property, including all appurtenances, at their own expense, including but not limited to keeping the swimming pool in like condition and repair as at the commencement of the lease, and will be responsible for any damages, with the exception of normal wear and tear.
Quote Quoting silly2988
But there is no damage to the motor, we were told the motor is old and just stopped working.
That's damage -- but it's damage resulting from ordinary wear and tear.

The second clause refers to the lessor (your landlord):
Quote Quoting silly2988
Lessor will be responsible for repairs to the following items; heating and cooling units, major plumbing and leak problems, ALL MECHANICAL POOL PARTS, dishwashers, ranges and ovens, refrigerators, and water heaters.
The motor is a mechanical pool part. If the lease makes the lessor responsible for replacing the motor, then you're not responsible for the cost. As a general rule (a) any ambiguity in a contract is construed in favor of the party that did not write the contract, and (b) when a contract contains both a general clause and a specific clause governing the same matter, the specific clause is to be applied.
