You can probably clean the water and the pool without draining--you'll be surprised what some bleach will accomplish. What type of pool? IG? AG? Liner? Do you have a high water table where you are? You're going to need a pump either way--you can always start the pump up, scoop as much stuff from the bottom as you can with a leaf net or skim net, and just keep an eye on the skimmer to make sure that it doesn't clog up with small pieces of stuff.
