Rust near skimmer entrance...yikes

[88rxn/a]

Outside of my pool is getting pretty bad. Is this repairable or am going to be looking good for a new pool soon?

It still feels like surface rust but I was wondering if it's repairable?

You can try running a bead of silicone around the skimmer and painting with a good rust proof paint.
