I think they're pool worms... Unless your pool is full of earth.. Ok enough frivolity See that thing in the picture... I think that may be the relief valve fur the pool... I'm no expert but an in ground pool needs it otherwise once the soil becomes Saturated the pool will tend to float... So that valve opens... I'm guessing, don't lose sight of that word, that the worms may enter in through that.
I have a solution for you! Fill in the pool, make a lovely rockery garden :P LOL I love earthworms and am dead envious, (Ok not envy - admire) that you have a pool. I suspect there is soil near the pool.....perhaps create more hard paving around the pool?
Methink everytime it rains the earth fills up with water drowning the worms. The worms seeking air wiggle up to the surface where they get swept or worm their way into your pool. Just a hunch. Poor critters are oxygen deprived and wiggling all around trying to get back beneath the surface at the same time. Such agony.
