PVX976PK2 | SW-61-976 | Swimables Cleaner Wheel Bearings Replacement

The Swimables SW-61-976 is a 2-pack of replacement wheel bearings engineered for Hayward AquaNaut, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen, and Jacuzzi Tracker suction-side pool cleaners, serving as a direct replacement for OEM part number PVX976PK2. Positioned on both sides of each wheel, the wheel bearings enable smooth, low-friction rotation that allows the cleaner to maneuver efficiently across pool floors, walls, and steps without dragging, wobbling, or stalling. When wheel bearings wear out or become damaged, the cleaner loses its free-rolling movement, leading to sluggish performance, uneven pool coverage, and increased wear on other drivetrain components. Replacing the SW-61-976 restores smooth, consistent wheel rotation and extends the overall service life of the cleaner. The bearings are compatible with AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450, Phoenix 2-wheel and 4-wheel, Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel suction-side pool cleaner models.

Highlights

• Direct Hayward PVX976PK2 Replacement: The SW-61-976 wheel bearings are engineered to match OEM specifications for the wheel bearing position on Hayward AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel suction-side pool cleaners, providing a precise, drop-in fit during wheel service work with no shims, washers, or modifications required at the wheel hub.
• Restores Free-Rolling Wheel Motion: Positioned on both sides of each wheel hub, these bearings eliminate the rolling resistance caused by worn or damaged bearings, restoring the free, low-friction wheel movement the cleaner needs for consistent speed, full pool coverage, and smooth maneuverability across pool floors, walls, and steps during the cleaning cycle.
• Reduces Wobble and Prevents Drivetrain Wear: Worn wheel bearings allow lateral wheel wobble that increases stress on axles, wheel hubs, and adjacent drivetrain components, and replacing them promptly with the SW-61-976 prevents that secondary wear from cascading into more expensive failures, extending the service life of the full wheel assembly and the drivetrain it connects to.
• 2-Pack for a Complete Wheel Service: Each kit includes two replacement bearings, providing enough hardware to service both sides of a single wheel or replace one bearing per side across two wheels simultaneously, supporting balanced, even rolling performance through the full cleaning cycle rather than leaving uneven friction across the wheel set.
• Wide AquaNaut, Phoenix, and Jacuzzi Coverage: Confirmed fitment across the full range of compatible Hayward and Jacuzzi cleaner platforms in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel configurations, including AquaNaut 200 through 450, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen, and Jacuzzi Tracker, making the SW-61-976 one of the most widely applicable wheel bearing replacements in the broader AquaNaut and Poolvergnuegen parts catalog.
