Abstract
A pool divider assembly for restricting access to a deep portion of a swimming pool includes a pair of rods. Each of the rods is extendable downwardly into a swimming pool adjacent to opposite sides of the swimming pool with respect to each other. Each of the rods has an engagement thereon and the engagement on each of the rods engages a respective well in a deck of the swimming pool to inhibit the rods from moving. A barrier is coupled between each of the rods to inhibit a child or a non-swimming adult from passing beyond the barrier. The barrier is comprised of a fluid permeable material to facilitate pool water to pass therethrough.
