heat losing at swiming pool

(OP)
Dear all.

I need to calculate the boiler capacity for swimming pool heater, i know it is a matter of energy balance, but i dont know exactly how to calculate the heat loosing that it will happend at the pool. i know also it depends of the ambient temperature, the velocity of wind and the surface area exposed. could someone suggest me a simplified calculation method to get this value or a information source where i can get it?. if someone know a rule of thumb to get it, for me is ok.
Also if someone can give me the "practical" criteria for the time to heat the water at the pool.

thanks in advance for your helping
