SwivelSkim Testimonials

"I'm 53 years old and I take care of a hundred pools. SwivelSkim cuts the time to clean large pools in half and, because it floats, my back doesn't hurt at the end of the day. This design is ingenious."

- Ben Damico, Precision Pool Maintenance, Morgan Hill, CA

"We just put in a pool in September and have a lot of debris coming off the surrounding sycamore trees. I can't put into words how much SwivelSkim helps me clean this mess. We most likely would have had to cut down the trees. I would be miserable without it. I use it all the time."

- Georganne Goodwin, Pool Owner, Brentwood, TN

"Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! The SwivelSkim is the newest most critical tool we have on our trucks. It takes the anxiety out of having to skim a trashed pool. You are really changing the technique for cleaning pools in a very positive, time saving way. Thanks again for a great product" -- Richie Prafder, President - Sparkling Waters, Woodmere NY

"We have a "triple threat" pool, surrounded on three sides by pine trees, an old oak, and several large crepe myrtles. Pine needles are a pain, and SwivelSkim takes care of the works in just a few minutes. Also, when I'm in the water I see a lot of little bugs, but couldn't see them when I'm out. SwivelSkim allows me to skim the entire surface collecting all these tiny bugs. Our six kids use it, right down to Carly, 5 yrs. old."

- Karen Brentlinger, Williamson GA

"....Before I could even put it in the water, my 15 year old son grabbed it, attached the netting and was off! To my amazement, the seemingly impossible happened... A teenager not only finished a chore without being hounded(!), he did the entire pool in about 3 minutes and then gleefully announced, "this is my chore from now on!" I was so amazed I had to give it a whirl myself. The wide-swath design and ease of use compared to standard skimmers is astounding - Thanks for a great product!"

- Jim McAlister, San Jose, CA

"We use SwivelSkim on about half of our pools. We quickly learned to let it do the work. It's wide and it floats, so it gets a lot of debris from the center with no back strain. We can clean pools from one side, which cuts skimming time way down. And it holds up well in our trucks. As more people build oasis pool environments, SwivelSkim will become even more important to us."

- Dan Steenfott, Maintenance Manager, Blackthorne's Pool & Spa, Salinas, CA

"It is great to have a big net that swivels and floats to clean a big pool. I do not have to wait for leaves to drift in towards the wall to collect them anymore. And it's easy -- one hand, no lifting -- this surpassed my expectations by far!"

- Raz Belleci, Lifeguard Carmel Valley Community Pool, CA

"I tried it in the center of the pool and around the edge and I can't believe how easy it is. It's nothing like a regular skimmer net. When I showed it to my pool man, all he could say was, 'Ah, Oh, Wow!' SwivelSkim definitely delivers on its promise of speed and ease of use, it's so user-friendly (and back-saving!)"

- Jim Slay, Palos Verdes, CA

"Nicely made... It'll come in handy with our frequent winds that cover my pool with leaves. It's perfect to clean it up quickly, before they saturate and hit the bottom. It gets all the leaves off the pool without having to empty the net."

- Merrill Dean, Scottsdale, AZ

"Usar el SwivelSkim hace limpiando una piscina tan fácil como una, dos, tres. Salva tanto tiempo en la comparacion a nuestras redes tradicionales mas pequenas.

Translation: Using the swivelskim makes cleaning a pool as easy as one, two, three. It saves so much time in comparison to our smaller traditional nets"

- Jose Mendez, Pool Service Maintenance, New York

"I just used it for the first time, this chore would normally take me twenty minutes of muscle to hold up the pole and net to skim the surface. With SwivelSkim it was comparatively effortless - just push and pull. The fine net removed all the tiny gnats and bugs along with the leaves. Pulling it against the sides of the pool even removed the debris stuck to the sides. Not only was the chore mostly effortless, it only required five to seven minutes and it did a much better job than using a pole and net." - Jim Conner, Jamul, CA

"You just push it out and pull it back. Since there's no lifting or swishing side to side, even my young daughter can use it. And, it's so easy to clean the edge, I just towed it around the pool."

- Jill Heyer, Petaluma, CA

"The best thing I’ve ever used. Big trees, equals big mess and the SwivelSkim made it easy."

- Rick Brantford, Ontario, Canada

"We live in Scottsdale, Arizona where this time of year we are subject to monsoons. The winds wreak havoc on our beautiful Bougainvilleas and their flowers and leaves end up in the pool. The SwivelSkim makes it a breeze to clean the surface of our pool. It requires very little muscle to operate. Even I can do it! Thank you for making a great product!

- Suzanne McBride, Scottsdale, AZ



"Thank you so much for making SwivelSkim. I assembled it immediately and it is really impressive. When fall comes here leaves drop by the hundreds, it really does the job, I know. I have often closed the pool early just because I couldn't face dipping out all of the leaves".

-Katherine Stannard, Lawrence, KS

"I have a pool service business and I am finding that there is a real market for SwivelSkim with my pool customers, I have now sold three in just a short time by talking about it to my customers.

- Richie Prafder, Sparkling Waters, Woodmere NY
