Urban Planning and Design Criteria, De Chiara and Koppelman.
Also, there is an international olympic swimming organization. Do a Google search on the web to find it.
For structural and construction details you can probably get much information from local pool builders and from visits to actual pools built recently in your area. Ask the owners how the pools have held up and get copies of their plans if they are willing to share them with you.
Good luck

We design for a number of load conditions, including empty pool, full pool, partial full pool...all with and without a high water table around the tank. In most cases, we end up with a very good design, I think, and one that allows the owner the ability to drain the pool under most conditions.
But these pool builders claim that we overdesign our tanks - they use an 8" or 6" thick wall, reinforced with a single layer of reinforcing. We cannot get these sections to work with our own calcs. They claim that they've never had any problems. - But I suspect they do ...just don't advertise the cracking that results and they assume that the pool is always full so there is no real differential loading on the walls.
Any thoughts?

Your comments are on target. I agree with you.
Contractors always accuse engineers of over designing. Actually, I was involved in a case were the contactor wanted to sue me because my beams were stressed to 60% of their capacity. He claimed that was over designed! Go figure.
