A skimmer lid and basket lifting tool comprises an elongate handle member having proximal and distal ends relative to a user. A generally L-shaped hook member is integrally attached to the distal end of the handle member and is adapted to be extended into an aperture of a skimmer lid. Once inserted, a user may lift the lid from the skimmer well by lifting the handle member. The lifting tool further includes a pair of U-shaped hook members attached to the handle member at a point spaced from the distal end. Once the skimmer well lid has been removed using the L-shaped hook member, the U-shaped hook members may be extended through an open top of a skimmer basket and positioned so as to engage a transverse handle therein, whereby to lift the basket from the well.
