Hi,
I have to render a pool with lights inside, but I'm not able to achiev the typical effect of the light in the water....could you help me?

have you tried the scatter light plugin ?

Are you talking about the dancing light pattern aka caustics? if so, use caustics with vray, or use an inverted smoke map as a projector map on your light sources (standard lights).
