I always just pour my liquid chlorine (bleach) directly into the skimmer while the pump is running. I pour very slowly so it doesn't splash. There is no need to pre-mix liquid chlorine into a pail of water.

Re: Adding liquid chlorine
I put mine slowly into the the return stream in the deep end, and let that help disperse the bleach. If you take your time, there's no splashing involved.

Re: Adding liquid chlorine
Ditto both above. I just replaced my liner and I noted that the manufacturer of the new liner recommends adding chlorine through the skimmer. Definitely do one or the other of the listed options here. Sorry about your clothes!
10,000 gallon IG vinyl liner pool, BBB user, salt added to 2300 ppm (because it makes the water feel great!), new liner/new water on 6/23/11, algae-free since 2006 (at least that's as far back as I remember). 1HP Hayward 2-SPEED CONVERTED Superpump, Hayward sand filter, PS234 test kit.
Goal: To remain completely algae-free for the life of this new liner!
Life lesson: It is what it is.
12'x24' oval 9K gal IG pool; bleach; Hayward 244T sand filter; Hayward Super pump, 1 HP, 2-speed pump; 24hrs on low speedhrs; PS234; utility water; summer: ; winter: ; android phone; PF:13
