In combination with an in-ground swimming pool having side walls extending below grade level and a bottom wall and surrounded by an apron forming a deck at grade level, a cantilevered above-water pool umbrella assembly for protecting pool occupants while in the water, said assembly comprising: an umbrella adapted to be selectively extended and retracted in a horizontal direction above grade and water level and extended to be disposed in a generally superjacent space parallel relationship above the level and surface of the water in the pool; a vertical umbrella support pole projecting vertically upwardly above grade and water level to form an upright vertical support column carrying said umbrella; a mounting bar on said deck and extending at deck level out over and above the surface of the water in the pool; a connecting joint between one end of said mounting bar and the lower end of said umbrella pole to vertically support the pole and the umbrella in an upright position; and anchoring means at the other end of said mounting bar to anchor the umbrella to the apron of the pool, said anchoring means more particularly comprising: a stabilizing means engaging the horizontally disposed surface of the deck and resisting vertical displacement forces, thereby to provide vertical support for the cantilevered umbrella on the vertical support column, and lateral displacement prevention means to firmly lock the umbrella support assembly against involuntary lateral displacement toward or away from the pool.
