tadpoles

[Paigey]

Hi! I have a 15x42 above ground pool and this is my first pool. We neglected cleaning our pool cause we needed some tubing. So today I had my son clean out the bugs, leaves, etc and then I added some shock. Then I realize we have tadpoles. I know that the shock will kill them but how do I get them outta there? Will we just have to scoop them out? Or will the filter take care of them?? Help!
Thanks!

Unless dead tadpoles float, your skimmer won't get them out. You can either scoop them out with a net or if they are on the bottom, you can vacuum them up.
