A swimming pool net includes a mesh material and a frame that circumscribes the mesh. Fasteners are positioned in the frame to secure the mesh to the frame. A pair of mounts is formed in the frame in opposed relation to one another. A spring has opposed ends that respectively engage the opposed mounts. The spring is taut when its opposite ends engage the mounts. A middle section of the spring is manually pulled and spaced apart from the mesh by a preselected distance, followed by abrupt release of the spring, causing the middle section to travel from a first side of the frame to a second side, striking the mesh as the spring passes through the plane of the frame and ejecting items away from the mesh. The mounts may be apertures or posts or the ends of the spring may be embedded in the frame.

1. A net for removing debris from a body of water, comprising: a mesh material forming a net;a rigid frame that circumscribes a periphery of said net;a plurality of fasteners positioned in said frame that secures said mesh at its peripheral edges to said frame;a handle secured to said rigid frame;said frame, said mesh, and said handle sharing a common longitudinal axis of symmetry;a pair of mounts formed in said frame, each mount of said pair of mounts being opposed to the other mount relative to said longitudinal axis of symmetry;an elongate bias means having opposed ends, a first end disposed in engaging relation to a first mount of said pair of mounts and a second end disposed in engaging relation to a second mount of said pair of mounts;said elongate bias means having a length preselected so that said bias means is taut when its opposite ends engage said first and second mounts, respectively;said bias means being parallel to a plane of said frame when said opposite ends of said bias means engage said apertures;said bias means being in closely spaced relation to said mesh when said opposite ends of said bias means engage said mounts;whereby holding said rigid handle in a first hand and manual pulling of said bias means about mid-length of said bias means with a second hand so that a middle section of said bias means is spaced apart from the net by a preselected distance, followed by abrupt release of said bias means, causes said middle section of said bias means to travel from a first side of said plane of said frame to a second side of said plane, striking said mesh as said bias means passes through the plane of said frame and ejecting items resting against said mesh away from said mesh. 2. The net of claim 1, further comprising: each mount of said pair of mounts being an aperture formed in said frame. 3. The net of claim 1, further comprising: each mount of said pair of mounts being an upstanding rigid post formed in said frame. 4. The net of claim 1, further comprising: said frame being a wall having a rectangular cross-section and which includes a flat top surface, a flat bottom surface, an interior sidewall and an exterior sidewall. 5. The net of claim 4, further comprising: said pair of mounts being formed in said flat bottom surface of said wall. 6. The net of claim 4, further comprising: said pair of mounts being formed in said wall on said exterior sidewall thereof. 7. The net of claim 1, further comprising: said mesh being covered with a coat of silicone. 8. The net of claim 1, further comprising: said mesh being made of silicone. 9. A net for removing debris from a body of water, comprising: a mesh material forming a net;a frame that circumscribes said mesh;a plurality of fasteners positioned in said frame that secures said mesh at its peripheral edges to said frame;said net being coated with a material that reduces the surface tension of water so that debris separates from said mesh material when said net is at least partially inverted and shaken or struck. 10. The net of claim 9, further comprising: said material being silicone. 11. A net for removing debris from a body of water, comprising: a mesh material forming a net;a frame that circumscribes said mesh;a plurality of fasteners positioned in said frame that secures said mesh at its peripheral edges to said frame;said net being made of a material that reduces the surface tension of water so that debris separates from said mesh material when said net is at least partially inverted and shaken or struck. 12. The net of claim 11, further comprising: said material being silicone. 13. A net for removing debris from a body of water, comprising: a mesh material forming a net;a rigid frame that circumscribes said mesh material;a plurality of fasteners positioned in said frame that secures said mesh at its peripheral edges to said frame;a handle secured to said rigid frame;said frame, said mesh, and said handle sharing a common longitudinal axis of symmetry;said mesh being formed of an elastomeric material; anda mesh-engaging handle secured to said mesh at a center of said net;whereby manual engagement of said mesh-engaging handle and manual engagement of said rigid frame-engaging handle and manual application of force to increase separation of said handles relative to one another causes said elastomeric net to stretch so that abrupt release of said mesh-engaging handle causes said mesh-engaging handle and hence the center of said net to travel from a first side of said plane of said frame to a second side of said plane, turning said bag net inside out and ejecting items from said net. 14. The net of claim 13, further comprising: said net being a deep, bag-like net. 15. The net of claim 13, further comprising: said net being a shallow net. 16. The net of claim 13, further comprising: said net being coated with a material that reduces the surface tension of water. 17. The net of claim 13, further comprising: said net being formed of a material that reduces the surface tension of water. 18. The net of claim 13, further comprising: an independent, elongate bias means having its opposite ends secured to said frame and having its mid-point attached in the center of said net by means of said mesh-engaging handle.
