There was a pretty good ASHRAE journal article within the last 2 years on natatoriums (indoor pools). The load varies a great deal according to water temperature, pool loading and outdoor air conditions.
The architect should be able to provide the head count.

For lighting....well, again that depends on the application, but it can be 1.2 to 1.5 watts/sq.ft.
