A skimmer assembly is used in a swimming pool having a water surface, a return inlet and a wall. The skimmer assembly includes an elongate container defining a channel therein. The container has a first side opposing a second side. The first side defines a substantially horizontally oriented, elongate cutout therein. The cutout is in communication with the channel and is configured for communication with the water surface. The cutout has an upper edge and a lower edge. The container has a substantially open first longitudinal end and a substantially closed second longitudinal end with a nozzle disposed therethrough. The nozzle is aligned substantially parallel with the channel and has an opposing inlet and outlet. The outlet of the nozzle tapers toward and is in communication with the channel. A porous trap having an open mouth is connected to the open first end of the container. An elongate hose is disposed outside the container and is connected with the inlet of the nozzle. A device maintains the upper edge of the cutout above the water surface and the lower edge of the cutout substantially below the water surface.
