This often depends on your pool type, however, typically, you would drain the water to roughly half, put in chemical and cover with a tarp. The pool manufacturer may be the best source for advice on how to close your pool for the winter. Also you may check with the dealer.

First, you tell everyone to get out of your pool. Then, you empty all of the water out. Then you tell everyone to stop coming to your pool. If you are talking about billiards, then the same applies. But you must also take away all of the cues and pool balls.
