I suggest you add a small amount of pea gravel to the beach area maybe along one side of the beach in a narrow band from shore to deeper. One small truck load spread about 6"-10" thick from shore out to 4-5ft deep in a band maybe 5-10 ft wide. I think the swimmers will overall in the long term like the pea gravel better than the sand. Try the two to compare. SMB & RES will spawn in the pea gravel and to a lesser extent the sand. A small pond of your size only needs one SMB spawn each yr or two for the bass to be successful.
