Bumpers and assemblies for swimming pool cleaners are disclosed. Such assemblies may include contoured frames (42) to which flexible fins (46) are attached to facilitate deflection of cleaners when obstacles are encountered. Side wings (38) connecting the frame (42) to the body (14) of a cleaner may additionally be employed as part of the assemblies, as may a weight (34) moveable about two axes. In use, the side wings (38) both promote cleaner deflection and reduce body wear that otherwise would occur. The non-stationary weight (34) permits continuous rebalancing of the cleaner depending on its location and orientation within a pool.
