Slightly OT, or not, but the "chlorine smell" is actually an indication there is insufficient chlorine, not too much; that smell is chloramines, formed when insufficient levels of free available chlorine react with ammonia and chemical compounds with nitrogen - meaning the, er, waste and the like in solution in the water is insufficiently broken down and creates halomethanes. (Take your own pool test kit and you will see exactly what I am talking about in your measurements: insufficient available chlorine and too much combined chlorine - meaning it needs MORE chlorine to disinfect properly, not less.)

Executive summary: it's not the design, it's poor pool maintenance and if there is a pervasive smell of chloramines it's a sign - good idea to stay out of that pool because it is not nearly as sanitary as it should be. Sometimes, that gets back to the families and especially the kids...
