Looking to possible add a double breaker in the box to open up some space for a swimming pool without needing to add a sub panel. Any advice on breakers they might sell?

You will have to install more slim line breakers to free up enough space which is a 1/2 inch breaker instead of the 1 inch breakers. You have to purchase Square-D type QO homeline breakers for that panel.
