pool boy

Backyard water employee

A pool boy is a young man hired to maintain a swimming pool—cleaning, checking chemicals, skimming debris.

The term carries strong connotations from its appearance in pornography and popular culture, where the pool boy is a stock character who has sexual encounters with bored housewives: Every suburban fantasy includes the pool boy.

The role suggests youth, physical attractiveness, and availability.
