Attach the hose to the side skimmer basket with a special plastic adaptor that fits in your size skimmer.
Types of skimmers: Brands: Purex, Anthony, American Products, Pentair, Hayward are major names.
Hum, not inside the skimmer basket but under it. There you will find either a disc type object much like a flying saucer. Then under that there will be 2 holes. The one, if you are looking down into the skimmer from the deck side of the pool, to back side of the skimmer - 0 0 < that one - closest to you is the suction part of the skimmer. Your hose is pushed into this hole after filling the hose with water.
The "adapter" is another type skimmer as stated above that you can rotate to the left or right to achieve optimum skimmer suction.
With a single hole skimmer - that hole is the suction for the vac. You just have to plug the second skimmer if you have one.
Still, there is another with a hole in the side wall of the skimmer near the bottom of the skimmer. This is also the vac hole. With it you plug yoyr vac into it and then close a valve that controls the main drain. You have to remember when you are finished vacing pool you then open the main drain valve. The latter one is a quite old system made by or used by Anthony Pools. k
