Swimming pool skimmer

A swimming pool water skimming apparatus for directing large objects as well as all debris and scum from the water surface of a swimming pool filled with water, said water circulating in a counter-clockwise direction and said pool having a water skimming weir therein, said weir having top and bottom surfaces and a first and a second sidewall, said apparatus comprising:

• a skimmer arm having a mounting end, an opposite end, and an opening along the length and width of said skimmer arm between said mounting end and said opposite end,
• a pair of spring loaded pins assembled in said mounting end for locking said mounting end between the top and bottom surfaces of said swimming pool weir opening,
• a shaped block affixed to said mounting end and placed against said first sidewall of said weir for holding said skimmer arm at a 60.degree. angle horizontal to the swimming pool weir opening and horizontal to said water surface, and
• a screen fitted within said skimmer arm opening to permit some water flow to continue circulating for filtering debris from the pool water flow and directing the debris into the swimming pool weir opening, and
• hooked end means affixed to said opposite end for directing some of the current flow along said skimmer arm toward the swimming pool weir, thereby carrying debris and scum away from said screen and into said weir.
