We just recently opened our pool for the first time. I started the chlorinator and heater last night so they've only been running ~ 12 hours so I expect FC to rise. This weekend is supposed to be very nice so we are hoping to use it but want to make sure we are good and if not, what do I need to add? Here are the results:

Temp - 80 degrees
Ph - 7.5
Free Chlorine - .5
TA - 120
Calcium Hardness - 200
Salt - 4400
CYA - 0
CC - 0
 
You are ok to swim but get your cya and chlorine up. 70 cya and appropriate chlorine based on cya chart.

Get your chlorine up ASAP don't wait for the SWG add liquid chlorine. You are dangerously close to an algae outbreak. Did you test CCs? I would do an OCLT to be sure.
