Not that I know of any hydronium pools, I was just wondering if there would be a difference in clarity or not (as in, harder to observe the bottom)

First, there is no such thing as a separated H3O+, it always comes with a counterion.

Second, no - acid solutions are not less clear than a pure water (unless the anion is colored).
