A self-contained swimming pool vacuum includes a submersible vacuum head having a housing including opposing symmetrical halves which attach together to define an elongate vacuum mouth at a bottom end, a discharge opening at the opposite upper ends and a thrust channel extending therebetween. A motor supported within the thrust channel when the symmetrical halves of the housing are joined together, drives a propeller to create a thrust through the housing from the vacuum mouth through the thrust channel and out from the discharge opening at the top of the housing. A catch bag, removably secured to the top discharge opening, collects debris sucked through the vacuum mouth. First and second primary wheels are rotatably mounted on opposite ends of the housing, adjacent the vacuum mouth, to provide a cantilever effect when maneuvering the vacuum head along a surface. The housing is further provided with drag wheels on opposing leading and trailing edges and a swivel yoke mount structured for attachment to a hollow pole to manipulate the submerged vacuum head about the surfaces of a swimming pool.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A pool vacuum head assembly attachable to an elongate pole for picking up debris within a body of water, comprising:a housing having first and second halve portions,means for removably attaching said halve portions in joined relation to form an integral housing unit,said housing unit, with said halve portions joined together, including a discharge opening at a top end surrounded by an annular rim, an open elongate vacuum mouth at an opposite bottom end and a surrounding wall structure defining a thrust channel extending from said open elongate vacuum mouth to said discharge opening,thrust means for creating a forced flow of water through said thrust channel from said vacuum mouth to said discharge opening when said housing is submerged in the body of water, resulting in a negative pressure at said vacuum mouth to create a suction force sufficient to pull water and debris through said vacuum mouth and said thrust channel and out from said discharge opening,catch means at said discharge opening for catching and retaining the debris exiting said discharge opening, anda yoke on said housing, said yoke being structured for removable attachment of the elongate pole thereto so that said housing can be manipulated within the body of water.
