Welcome!!
+1 to umbrellas - both in and out of pool. I have fiberglass, so not exactly the same, but we have built in table with umbrella holder between 2 built in loungers and love it. With 10' umbrella gives a nice shade zone to relax while watching grandkids play.
For your SWG, make sure to oversize it (i.e. rated for 2x the actual size of your pool). This is very important, especially if you get a lot of direct sunlight. My original was sized for actual pool and I had to replace once we peaked in summer. Now have one rated for 52,000 gallons for my 19,000 gallon pool.
If you get a lot of direct sunlight, your pool could become very warm. Mine was in the mid 90s before I added some fountains to two of the returns, which I would install and run overnight. Had I known about this (first pool so still learning) I would have installed a couple of fountains into decking which I could control and turn on at night.
Have electrician wire in a high quality surge protector for the pool's electrical sub panel to protect all your pool equipment. There are many out there. I installed the one below in mine.
