Welcome to the forum!

I take it you swim in the shallow area? If so, could you partially drain down the pond, get an excavator in there to scoop out the muck in the swimming area, maybe lay down some geotextile fabric then put sand/pea gravel over that for the swimming area?

Is the aeration system that you have something that pumps water or air to the pond?
