A removable retention device for a swimming pool vacuum or pressure hose. The retention device holds the hose along a side wall of a swimming pool when there is a desire to keep the hose out of the way of a swimming pool user. The retention device is dimensioned to be placed over an edge of the swimming pool, either on a pool deck or over a wall of the swimming pool, and the geometry of the retention device is such that it captures the hose against the side wall of the pool. When restraining the hose, the retention device is situated such that the restrained hose is located at or below a waterline of the swimming pool. The retention device can remain in place or be removed from the pool when the hose is in use, after freeing the hose from the retention device.
