If you use the shop vac you don't have to be in the pool to stretch the liner out. It will stretch tight under the vacuum. We use a soft broom to manipulate the liner as it's going in.
Just pull a liner clip off the wall in one section and stick the vac hose in there. Or just stick the vac hose in the top of the skimmer out the front and down the wall. OR just use plastic or boards to seal off the skimmer around the vac hose and it'll suck the liner to the wall. You may have to provide some relief around the face of the skimmer so it won't just suck the liner into the face of the skimmer.
