The invention provides a debris diverting boom for use in diverting debris floating on the surface of a body of water toward a side skimmer opening thereof to facilitate its removal before it becomes waterlogged and sinks to the bottom. The body of the boom is produced by roll-forming from a narrow elongated strip of metal to have a hollow cylindrical elongated body portion and an integral downwardly-extending skirt portion. The interior of the hollow body portion is filled with a tubular piece of closed-cell foam to provide the necessary buoyancy. The lower edge of the skirt is folded over and crimped to increase its rigidity and hide the raw metal edge. The ends are covered with plastic caps for the same purpose. A bracket to hold the boom at the required angle to the side of the pool or tank consists of an elongated bar having at each end at least two longitudinally-spaced, parallel downwardly extending rods which extend through corresponding spaced vertical holes in the boom and the pool side. These prevent the boom and the bracket from rotating in the horizontal plane, and yet provide for vertical movement of the boom on the bracket and a certain amount of "spring" if the boom is inpacted by a swimmer.
