If a small swimming pool full of water, weighs 4500 kg and a swimmer, floating in the pool, weighs 82 kg, is the total combined weight of the pool and floating swimmer 4582 kg?

Only if the pool was not full when the swimmer entered. An 82 kg swimmer entering a full pool and floating will cause 82 kg of water to flow out of the pool.

That is unless the swimmer disperses some of the water.

You think the water is going to "magically" take weight away from the person?
HOW IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
The answer is YES.

normally water is measured in terms of displacement, therefore if the pool is FULL, when the swimmer enters, some water equal to his mass will be displaced.
