Title: Leaf skimmer for pools

Abstract: A leaf skimmer for swimming pools has a floating member placeable on the surface of water in the pool adjacent to and upstream of a water circulation drain of the pool. Attached to the floating member is a net immersed in the water for collecting debris in the proximity of the surface of the water in the pool. The floating member is preferably tethered to the side of the pool so as to be easily removable at predetermined intervals for dumping the debris from the net.
