A loop may also be provided extending from a second side of the handle for carrying or hanging the multifunction flyswatter and broom. At least one band may be included to extend around the plurality of rigid strands for retaining the plurality of rigid strands together in a bunch, one of the bands may be positioned outside of said pool and moveable along a length of the plurality of rigid strands. The plurality of rigid strands may each be made of a fiber optic cable with a light positioned within the handle on a side of the pool opposite the fiber optic cables for generating a light to illuminate said plurality of fiber optic cables. The handle may be a telescopic handle movable between an extended position and a retracted position.
