Quick Product Summary
The Swimables SW-61-417 is an aftermarket replacement pod kit for select Hayward Navigator and Pool Vac suction-side pool cleaners that use AXV417WHP. These mechanical side arms connect with the cleaner's A-frames and carry the shoes that contact the pool surface. Choose this kit for confirmed pod wear or damage, and match your cleaner's parts diagram before ordering.
Best For
Pool owners and service technicians repairing a compatible cleaner with cracked pods or worn pod mounting points. Identify the failed component first: pods, shoes, wings, and flaps perform different jobs and are ordered separately as needed.
Why This Matters
- A clear AXV417WHP cross-reference helps avoid ordering a different cleaner component.
- Inspecting adjoining wear points helps you plan the repair before taking the cleaner apart.
- Matching the part to the model is more reliable than buying by the cleaner's appearance alone.
Common Signs You Need This / Use This When
- A pod is visibly cracked, broken, or damaged.
- The pod-to-A-frame mounting area shows wear or excessive looseness.
- A cleaner inspection identifies worn pods as part of the movement problem.

Compatibility / Fitment Notes
Use SW-61-417 where your cleaner's parts list calls for AXV417WHP. Swimables publishes that cross-reference; it does not establish universal compatibility with every Hayward cleaner. Check the model label and exploded parts diagram, especially if the cleaner has been rebuilt or modified.
A pod repair does not automatically correct every movement or wall-climbing issue. Water flow, worn shoes, and other drive components can also affect cleaner operation. Confirm the problem before selecting parts.
Installation / Use Notes
Confirm that your cleaner uses the AXV417WHP pod design before installation. Turn off the pool pump before removing and servicing the cleaner. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's pod-replacement instructions, match left and right positions, and inspect the A-frame connections and shoes for wear. If the mounting areas are damaged or the repair is unclear, have a pool-service professional inspect the assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which pool cleaners use Swimables SW-61-417?
It is an aftermarket option for select Hayward Navigator and Pool Vac suction cleaners that specify pod kit AXV417WHP. Confirm the exact cleaner model and parts diagram before ordering.
Is SW-61-417 a genuine Hayward part?
No. It is a Swimables aftermarket replacement. Swimables lists AXV417WHP as the corresponding industry part number; the Hayward name identifies replacement fitment.
Are these cleaner pods a flap kit or flotation parts?
No. These are mechanical side pods that work with the cleaner's A-frames and support its shoes. Flaps and flotation components are separate parts.
When should I replace the cleaner pods?
Replace pods with visible cracks, damage, or worn connections. Loose pod-to-A-frame connections can affect movement, but poor cleaning alone does not prove the pods need replacement.
What else should I inspect during a pod replacement?
Inspect the A-frames, shoes, wings, and flaps. If the pod and A-frame connection is worn, follow the cleaner manufacturer's guidance for both components. Match replacement shoes to your pool surface.
