Apparatus for shielding the skimmer mouth in the wall of a swimming pool to prevent the introduction of floating debris from the water surface through the skimmer mouth into the existing water filtration system of the swimming pool. The skimmer shield apparatus comprises a rigid wire support frame from which a formaminous baffle is supported shielding the entrance to the skimmer mouth. Also supported from the support frame is a preferably foraminous receptacle disposed beneath the baffle for receiving and collecting waterlogged floating debris engaged by the baffle to facilitate removal of such debris from the pool.
