in-floor cleaner pool

I recently purchased a home with a pool in Southwest FL. The pool has in-floor cleaners but no returns on the sides of the pool. The pool always has a coating of bugs on the top of the water. So I assumed the skimmer wasn�t working correctly and had a pool company come in. They suggested I replace my pool filter cartridge and clean it on a weekly basis, which I have done. However, this hasn�t helped the situation at all. I haven�t swum in the pool yet because the film of bugs is disgusting. Even using the long pole with the skimmer tool hasn�t made much of a dent in the mess. I had a pool in my former house in NY and it had returns which pushed the water toward the skimmer and kept the top of the pool clean. Is it standard for pools with in-ground cleaners to not have returns? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve my problem?
