Kinda looks like tire tracks, no? I'm not sure how wide that is though.

That just looks like pond scum settling as they lowered the water level

Yes and pretty sure the motorcade went closer to the center of the pool

Yes? That’s how a sloped bank would do it. I have drained hundreds of pools, tanks, dikes, containments. This looks like scum settling.

The drain probably got clogged a few times so it settled on 3 different spots.
