At least 3-4 times per day. Add chlorine each time you test the FC below 12 ppm. Day, night, rain, snow, does not matter.

We like every 2 hours. But life doesn't always allow it. Do the best you can as close to the 2 hours as possible.
I can do that! I stay home with the kids so not a problem at all! Do I just continue with this until the water is clear?

That looks much better! Dead algae. Or maybe a little pollen too.
Very possible! We are surrounded by trees and cornfields out here

Keep running the pump 24/7 and keep the FC up. You're doing great.
I have no words of wisdom to add, but you're doing great! Keep at it, and keep vacuuming. You've got this!! 
Charity,
Keep it up and don't lose it as this is what it takes to get to the ultimate when you can post it to the tft clear pool thread. This is a way of pool care like non other. I turned a AGP swamp few weeks back and day three the owner tells me "wow I see the floor clearly" I chuckled and said put your arm in elbow deep and count your fingers, he couldn't. Today same pool it's head or tails with a dime. You will get there and it'll remain that way with some cheap products......

If you want to see a recovered swamp, using the TFP method, look for a thread started by @LooLooPoolNoob . She took a SWAMP and turned it back in to a beautiful TFP pool!
+1. That is arguably the best read on TFP. You will laugh. You will cry. You will laugh so hard that you cry.

It takes a few pages to get going. Once she got her pool legs going, and the upper hand in the overwhelmed at it all ……. Watch out. Good times will be had.
