1. A pool skimmer guard assembly for inhibiting objects from being sucked into a pool skimmer, said assembly comprising:
a rod being comprised of a resiliently bendable material thereby facilitating said rod to be bend into a U-shape wherein said rod is configured to be positioned in an intake of a pool skimmer having said rod curving outwardly from the intake, said rod being comprised of a buoyant material thereby facilitating said rod to float in water wherein said rod is configured to inhibit floating objects in the swimming pool from being sucked into the intake of the pool skimmer;
a pair of grips, each of said grips being coupled to said rod wherein each of said grips is configured to be positioned in the intake of the pool skimmer when said rod is bent into said U-shape, each of said grips having a gripping edge being perpendicularly oriented with said rod wherein said gripping edge of each of said grips is configured to engage a respective edge of the intake thereby inhibiting said rod from being dislodged from the intake, wherein each of said grips has a primary end, a secondary end and an outer surface extending between said primary end and said secondary end, said outer surface of each of said grips being continuously arcuate about an axis extending between said primary end and said secondary end such that each of said grips has a cylindrical shape;
wherein said rod has a first end, a second end and an outside surface extending between said first end and said second end, said rod being elongated between said first end and said second end;
wherein said primary end of each of said grips is coupled to a respective one of said first end and said second end of said rod; and
wherein said primary end of each of said grips has a diameter being greater than a diameter of said rod such that said gripping edge of each of said grips is defined on said primary end of said grips that is exposed between said outside surface of said rod and said outer surface of said grips.
