That would be a lot of work keeping them out lol.
Question Should I keep my PH at 7.8 or lower to 7.5?

Your TA is still kind of high. I'd target 7.2 pH. It will lower TA faster and also give you a few more days between acid additions.
No. It will work fine at 7.2 pH.
The recommendation to run pH higher with a SWG is because the SWG tends to drive pH up really fast, and you'd go nuts trying to keep it down lower. It would jump right back up and you'd dose it down with acid and then the TA would get too low and you'd add baking soda which will drive pH up again and you'd be stuck on an endless pool-store-type merry-go-round. But your TA is too high, since you've chosen to use the recommended levels in Pool School - Water Balance for SWGs as your guide. It needs to come down. So how do you lower TA? pH to 7.2. Pool School - Lower Total Alkalinity You just don't need to mess around with a lot of aeration. The SWG and your kids will take care of that. Once TA is in the suggested range, then you target 7.5 when pH needs lowering. Hopefully you'll discover the equilibrium point where you can go a week or ten days between acid additions. That's the sweet spot.
Ok cool thanks just added 17oz of muriatic acid infont of my return will recheck PH in the morning

Once PH jumps back up I will lower it again until I get my TA is at 70 or 80 recommended level

Yes it is but sorry to say the weather is about to change so not much swimming gonna happen 
If you start now. You should be acclimated in no time. Just get in and swim. Don't look at the temp. When you have had enough, look at the time. Tomorrow stay in a little longer. Should work, right up until the water gets hard.
LOL or pretend you are a kid! "I'm not cold Dad" as they shiver and their lips turn blue! LOL

At the start of the season, 76 feels warm. By the end of the season, due to warmer water, it feels cold! Our old pool never got warmer than 80 degrees. The new one, located in full sun, averaged about 83. 78 is starting to feel chilly, that was the normal temp for the old one. (We swam all the time)
It's been 84 since I setup the pool. A little advice here the leaves are dropping from the trees I got the pool covered with the solar cover will that cause Alge growth if the water temp get too hot?

Algae needs sunlight, water, C02 and organic waste for nutrients. The cover will probably help retard growth, not promote it.
