A pool skimmer, such as may be used to remove leaves, grass and insects that are on the surface of a swimming pool, or the like, consists of a pair of floats separated by an oblong open framework on which the open end of a net is mounted. The floats are longitudinal members having their respective ends tapered so that the device may be passed over such things as vacuum hoses, and the like, commonly found in a swimming pool, having vertical indentations forming receiving indentations to receive the end members of the framework and having horizontal passageways extending through said indentations to receive anchoring means for maintaining said end members in said grooves. The floats will maintain the bottom of the net opening submerged at the proper depth, and a harness attached to the forward ends of the floats and to one end of a pole, provide means for drawing the device over the surface of the water as desired. The pole employed is preferably the common type of telescoping members formed of a light weight material, and when the harness is attached to the extended end of the pole, and extends, by means of a bridle, to the respective floats, the user can readily and easily draw the skimmer over the entire surface of the pool from the surrounding deck and control the movement of the skimmer through the bridle, and when the pool has been skimmed, can readily remove the device from the pool and discharge the contents.
