We need a current set of water testing results taken with a drops-based kit. Do yourself a favor and buy the Taylor K-2006 or 2006C from the testkit link in my signature. It is the best kit out there. It will not be available locally, though. You'll have to order it online. In the meantime, go to Walmart and see if they have an HTH 6-Way kit. At the very least, get an OTO/Phenol Red kit (yellow and red drops). Post your numbers for us to take a look at. One of the readings we will need is a CYA reading. If you aren't able to find the 6-Way kit, see if you can get a reputable pool store that uses the 'disappearing black dot' test to check your CYA for you. Just don't let them talk you into buying anything.
Also, tell us about your pool. What is the volume, what kind of filter and size of pump do you have. We also need to know exactly what all you have put in the water meaning ingredients -- not just 'shock.'
Foam in a pool is usually from using a cheap algaecide. Have you added one?
