Can i fill a pool that has damage? Help.

[vikleigh]

Hi, i recently purchased a home with a concrete pool, it is an older pool that us in eed of work
Basic info:
This is my first pool.
It is currently impossible to get a pool company to do a consult.
It is an older kidney shaped pool that holds water without issue.
The problem: there is cracking in the wall and some cement is chipping off and there are loose pieces.
Since we can't get anyone in to do the repairs this year we are going to plan for next year but in the meantime i wanted to make sure we don't do any further damage. We want to fill the pool bacl up with water and use it as is, can anyone advise if this will make things worse? I'm attaching photos of the problem areas, the rest is fine.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
