Water plants in moving water

My 16x14 pond has falls and a skimmer so the water moves very fast. How can I have plants that won't get sucked into the skimmer?

RE: Water plants in moving water

Just put some floating plants in a corral such as a hula hoop or mesh floater or i saw someone on here take fishing line with a couple bobbers or wine corks strung on to the line and ran it across the pond a few feet in front of the skimmer on the surface of the water so the plants could not get past it. Hope that helps!
