I don't know what the cover on the pool would do for mosquitos.
If they are using the pool and maintaining it chemically there shouldn't be any mosquitos larvae in it.
They need fairly stagnant water.
If the pool is essentially abandoned I'd go to home depot or the equivalent and get some donut dunks and toss one or two in there when they weren't looking. Storm drains in the street can be breeding pools, too.
I have to dump my bird baths every Saturday and start over with fresh water or they'd be breeding pools.
All they need is a coffee can with an inch of water for about a week to ten days.
It's usually all the small things in yards (including backed up gutters) collecting little pools of water that mosquitos find attractive.
Swamps and small ponds with no hungry fish are a pita, too.
