Tried to get my wife to go for a night swim after the kids were in bed. Not sure why she said no?

When I was scooping them out it was almost like a sludge. Maybe I was imagining things. I am not 100 percent what they even were but this is the 2nd time it has happened this summer. My pump had lost its prime so glad I happened to look while checking chlorine level.:geek:
 
Looks like a bunch of Tick ants and flying ants to me. Those big ones will chase you down in the pool just to sting you. The bastages....

Yikes. The bigger ones were the only ones holding onto dear life. We got a ton of rain on Monday so maybe that had something to do with it.. seemed excessive but most were in the skimmer and pump basket. Pool didn't have too many left.

Yeah, those flying ants like to float around on their backs in our pool. Curled up with stinger pointing to the sky trying to get anything they find.
