You sure can. One gallon of regular household bleach (5.25% concentration) will raise the free Chlorine level in a pool of 20,000 gallons by 1ppm. If you wished to "shock" a 20,000 gallon pool you would need 20 gallons of household bleach. Keep the kids indoors, for safety reasons. Some swim goggles would be useful for your safety.
Once your pool has seen it's "shock and awe", (and after Chlorine levels have fallen below 3ppm) Trichloro-s-triazinetrione (Tri-Chlor) is a better sanitizer, being that it contains the stabilizer cyanuric acid, slowing its degredation due to UV exposure.
