Yes bleach does contain the same active ingredient as liquid chlorine commonly used in Swimming Pools but it is at a much lower concentration. Generaly for swimming pools we use either 10% or 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite.

Is the chlorine used by a pool chlorinator the same as household bleach?

Chlorine used in pools is much different from household bleach. Pool chlorine contains bacteria killing agents that are safe for human contact and, in most cases, do not cause health issues or rashes if used in moderation. Also pool chlorine does not have color removing agents and will not turn anything 'white', it is strictly used to keep pool water clean, bacteria free and clear. Household bleach, on the other hand, can be harmful to humans, animals and can also remove the color from clothing.
