I don't think that's carpet, I think it's linoleum or something similar. It looks like it has a no-slip raised pattern.

It sure looks kind of fluffy over the raised circular cover.

Maybe. Really, it's too small a photo to tell.

I thought you were right about the linoleum. But if you follow the link OP posted in the comments you can see the photo in better quality. I'm afraid it does look like carpet to me.

That's just the mold

I was hoping it wasn't carpet, but I think it's durable textured carpet. https://gocarpetcleaningatlanta.com/about-textured-carpet/ There are better photos of the pool area in this article: https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/erickson-home-midcentury-minnesota-steel-bridge/ This house intrigues me. I love it but also don't. Also, per the article, the current owner has never filled the pool, so the agent says the condition and functionality of it are uncertain.
