Worm found in skimmer, where did it come from?

My first guess would be it fell out of a bird's beak flying overhead.

Hey Jan,
Tell them about other things you find in the pool.

one worm isn't bad. My first year owning my pool I didn't put any kind of cover on it during the winter. SO no cover, no chems, no running pump for about 6 months. It rains a lot and i notice a lot of worms around the pool deck during the winter. When the summer came and I was cleaning the pool i probably pulled out 100's of dead worms off the bottom of the pool. The smell and the slime were horrible...i debated if i'd ever swim in the pool again. After a few weeks it was sparkling blue and clean, but every time i get in i think of the dead worm smell.

Yeah, well, I woke up one morning to find a dead human in my pool (successful suicide)...so I know about the "ick" factor!

Oy; that's a thread-ender.

WOW. Was it a neighbor??

30-ish son of my next door neighbor, had moved in with them the week before. Quite a gruesome deal, involved handcuffs, weights, ropes, etc. I was just really glad they found the note he left!
