@ernestrazk
1- What is the size of the pool
2- depths
3- Make sure you use pile
4- Analyze the pool for bouyancy for its empty condition
5- Provide at least fc'=4000 psi concrete
6- Min. of 4 inches of clear cover
If you need more info, please post

Proper care should be taken, while design the water retaining structures.
As per dear friend "ykhackhack", Pool should be designed for empty conditions, because in this case, there will not be any counter pressure acting. so Max tension will be consider.
Moody's chart should be used for determining the constant in designing for Water Retaining Structure.
