    You do not need a new pool although they would love to sell you one. You just need to fix your problem. It is easy to patch over the skimmer opening with some flat stock and duct tape it into place. You then cut a new skimmer opening in a good section of wall a few feet over. That is the fix if you are planning to change the liner.

    If you are not wanting to change the liner leave the skimmer attached. As the weather warms you may be able to push the bend out of the wall and push it back into the wall stabilizer. If not, can you live with it the way it is, until you do need a new liner?

    It's not likely it is causing any kind of a problem, everything should work the way it is supposed to.
