1). Buy a good raincoat.
2). Fill an empty coffe can 1/2 full with dirt
3). Collect the worms before they get into the pool.
4). Place worms into coffee can.
5). Go fishin'
Instead of DE around the pool deck, a salt barrier may work. Just won't last long in the rain......

I have the same problem with beetles and winged fireant queens. After every rain hundreds end up in the pool. I installed a PoolSkim this week and it seems to be removing them before they sink to the bottom. It also picks up leaves, sticks and pollen. I've noted the link for reference. I have no affiliation with this site.
