First, make sure both doors between the pool room and the previous room are closed. If you approach them, they should close automatically. Then climb the stairs to the upper level (as shown in the first sequence).

Shoot out the window near the shotgun shells, grab the ammo and then jump down into the room where you started. The 2 enemies with flamethrowers will then appear inside the pool room and be trapped there.

If you stay close to the wall, you can then shoot the bad guys through the windows. . .

Just be sure not to step on the square in front of the water-filled opening (outlined in the screenshot above) until both enemies are dead, since this will re-open the doors.
