Water is vital to a duck's well-being. In the absence of their preferred natural muddy planted pond, a duck will settle for the next best thing like your swimming pool. I'm sure the chlorine is not pleasant for them, but they need water like we need air. So put up a little pond for them - no need to build something big. We're using a plastic "shell" that is normally used as a kid's sand pit and refresh the water every couple of days.

How do you get rid of bird poop from an above-ground pool and what pool chemicals are needed?

The quickest way would be to net out as much of it as you can. In order to sanitize you pool water you will need to shock it with chlorine. However, check your water balance prior to adding chlorine. Birds are attracted to the swimming pool water and it will be difficult to keep them away. If you keep floating toys or objects in your pool when it is not in use consider removing them or keep your pool covered unless you are using it. A Solar cover would help your pool retain heat and keep the bird dropping out of the water!!
