Let me ask you how do you remove items floating in your pool like leaves or light matter, I use a pool net, I would come in from underneath the frog and scoop it out, also I would attach the net to the pool pole that I would use to vacuum the pool with, to give me more and longer leverage for removing the frogs. A better answer it to provide a way out so creatures that do get in don't have to die in your pool. Install a Skamper-Ramp. Animals can see it from in the water and climb right out.

It won't work as a skimmer if your water level is above the skimmer. If you watch how the skimmer works, the water is pulled in over the skimmer door and it won't "skim" the floating debris off the surface of the water if the water level covers the entire opening, your skimmer will just suck in water that is below the surface. If you keep the water level so it's at least below the opening an inch or so, you should be o.k. If you've recently had alot of rain, you may need to drain some water out of the pool so your skimmers function properly.

You can buy a devise called a Jeanie Jet and it connects to your water hose. Take the lid off your pump and insert it into the front of the pump going back to the skimmer. You then turn on the water and it should blow out the line and unclog it. What comes out of that line will come out into the skimmer so watch for it.
