Sunscreen? Film on top of water

Had a ton of kids in the pool last week. Noticed an oily film that's been there all week. Chlorine was staying very low even with salt at 90%. PH is normal, CYA is around 100+ (very sunny pool). Finally got chlorine back up to 6, added a couple scum floats but it's still there. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
 
Pig Mats ... they absorb oil preferrentially to water. Lots of sunscreen just takes lots of time to absorb. Make sure you wipe down the water line and inside the skimmer box with a microfiber cloth to pick up all the oil-scum.
