Duck droppings when left to dry on the side of the pool can harbour a mould that will cause long term sickness if ingested. Small children are at risk of course.
When ducks foul the water it does get filtered eventually and the chlorine does sanitise the droppings however I would like to see a stronger level of chlorine at all times if ducks are visiting. My product Kings Duck Solution made here in Beenleigh will get rid of them.

Are ducks affected by chlorine in a swimming pool?
No, but if they swim in your pool a lot, the duck poop is going to make the water murky. Ducks and swimming pools are not a good combination. Pool sanitisers such as chlorine have no ill affect on the bird. Ducks like the pool environment as it is often a safe haven with clear water and unobtrusive surrounds. The duck droppings do have a negative effect on the pool water balance and will eventually clog the filter with the creamy white paste.

All types of fecal matter -- poop, manure, droppings, etc. -- contain enormous amounts of bacteria.

When can a duck swim?
Of course. There are several species of sea going ducks including eiders and scoters. There would be no problem in a fresh water duck's swimming in salt water (in fact it's easier to float than in fresh water) but the salt water might eventually upset their metabolisms.
