The danger of Freezing water is that ice expands and can crack pipes;so two ways of winterizeing the system open all valves and covers on the pump;so if it does freeze it can expand out.This would be of course with the power off. The second way;keep the pump running,circulating water is much harder to freeze.

Why would you drain your pool just becasue the water is hot? Never drain your inground pool unless you have first cut holes in the bottom of the pool to keep it from floating. If the water table in your area is high enough, your inground pool could "float" out of the ground, effectively ruining your pool.
