This is my go at a pool vacuum:
Normal Gardena style garden hose connects to front: water is directed down, redirected flat over the ground and blows all dirt to the other hole at the back end.
This hole is covered with a light sock, hold by a piece of wire. Dirt of collected in the sock and can be emptied easily.
The vacuum itself is connected to a wooden stickb which is held in place by a long screw M5.
O-Ring can be added for garden hose connector.
I also glued some "Moosgummi" rubber like material to the bottom to make sure the pool is not punctured.
... In the end: this is itteraion 2 and it works surprisingly well :-)
150 Minutes print with three shells and 26% infill.
Designed to print without support with only slight bridging challenge for internal water path.
Worked fine on my heavily modified Anet A8.
Have fun printing and using your copy!
