There are many different products to get oil and scum off the top of your water. Most of them have names like "Oil and Scum Remover". Different pool stores have different kinds, but basically the chemical will bond with the oil, making it clump together, and either sink or keep floating, where it will be picked up by the vacuum or skimmer system.

I use Pool Perfect from Leslies and that seems to do the trick. Also, eventually you just have to get in there and scrub it off

Besides the above you might try using less sun tan oils and lotions.

What would cause the pool to get a brown film on the bottom when chlorine is added but becomes crystal clear when citric acid is added?

You have an imbalance in your water chemistry. Why are you using citric acid? You may have iron in the source or fill water. All you need for that is to filter the water for about 8 hrs. before you add chlorine. You may also think about using a liquid polymer for removing or suspending the iron until the filter can pick up most of it. The local pool store will know which product is best for your area.
