First year with pool--clearing the swamp?

Nice--we were definitely inadequately covered last year, as well as underestimating how soon we should get started. First year stuff...
What type of cover is this?

It's an auto cover. There is a track under the coping and ropes that pull the cover over the pool.

This is my first full year with a pool too. Got sick of asking someone 1/2 my age what to do and luckily found this site.
