Pools in a coastal zone need to be tied down on pilings or break away for debris impact to adjacent structures.

FBC, building Sec. 1612.4 refers to ASCE 24. ASCE 24, Sec. 9.5 addresses pools. But yes, except in Zone V, the primary issue is buoyancy. But also watch if an above-ground, on-ground or in-ground pool with fill is in a floodway, because that becomes a floodway encroachment.
Also see 2010 FBC, Residential R322.2.4 (Zones A) and R322.3.3.1 (Zones V).

Scott,
In the simpliest of applications it would be bouyancy. However, there are a number of pools along the coastal environs that are elevated to or about the first floor which becons that of wave action design, though not a habitable structure or that of a building function(s).

Looking over the new building codes to take effect this March, I came across Sec. 424.2.4.2.1 which states that private swimming pools shall comply with Sec. 1612.
Section 1612 deals with flood loads, elevation etc...
I don't see anything in this section that specifically address pools. So... how would Sec. 1612 apply to pools? First floor/basement heights?
I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but can't put my finger on it.
