Hello all, first time pool owner here so I'll be having many questions. The issue nagging me right now is trying to figure out which way to aim my return jets? I know the picture below is not the greatest but I have 1 skimmer (circled below) and 3 return (marked with a red line).
The pool is 41x16 fiberglass. 3' deep on shallow end and 6'5 deep in deep end. No tanning ledges just a few bench steps in all 4 corners.
The returns on the right wall are at 12' in from the shallow end and 8' in on the deep end. Opposite wall has 1 return at 17' in from deep end and the skimmer is in 25' in from deep end.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a very similar shape/size pool, and my returns are on one end while the skimmer is on the opposite end. Not sure why this installer did it this way? 
Well, all you can do is adapt. Keep in mind return jets do two things for us. The help to keep chlorinated water circulated and move surface debris to the skimmer. Return jets do their best to move water, but struggle if the wind is pushing in another direction. All you can do is "try" to encourage water to move where you want it.
