It depends on where you live. If it freezes, how much it rains, do you live on a hillside, etc... The problem you have to solve is that since a pool holds water it can fill up with water and create quicksand if you just fill it in, so it must be drained somehow. Also, if you live in an area where the ground can hold water around the pool it will rise out of the soil like a boat if you do not fill the pool. The general solution assuming its an in ground pool is to take the drains out of the bottom. Fill the pool in with drainainge type stone that you would find around a leaching taking in the ground, like for sewage. Ta'mp the stone down then put concrete over top to seal it so water does not drain into it, some will still get in anyway from the sides and bottom, but it will drain out over time. Another alternative is to keep the bottoms in and put a sump pump that will pump the water out, but again this depends on your layout. Somehow cover the pool so that water does not collect in it. Or for the most expensive way, is to take out the bottom of the pool then fill it in, but you will likely need a permit.
