I'm wondering if this is possible, and how I would do it?

Yes.. but why would you want to.... I think I am not sure that .. that is not a good idea... you will end up drinking bad yucky water and it will get you sick and in trouble.
Probably illegal so I wont tell you how to.

Yes, it is possible as long as the hose runs below water level, but it would take FOREVER!!! You could buy one garden hose and cut it up into different sections so that you have more than one siphon. It'll still take a really long time, though. Oh, and remember that you have to suck on the end of the hose first to start it off...then it will go on its own. I have to say, that's a pretty good practical joke!

As long as the other end of the hose is positioned below the water level, the pool will drain on its own. So either the pool needs to be on a hill, or you need your own empty pool (or other hole in the ground).
Probably not advisable to siphon out your neighbor's pool. Some people would take offense to that.

a bit tricky however as the "drain to" location needs to be below the bottom of the pool (if you plan on draining the whole thing).
test it this way
get 2 - buckets (2 to 5 gals works well), put one a table or other object, fill with water
Put hose (or plastic tubing) in to water let the water displace the air in hose/tubing.
put your finger/thumb over hose end and take that end out of the water. take the covered end down the outside of the bucket to the 2nd bucket - somewhere below the bottom of the 1st bucket.
Take you finger/thumb off the end.
As the water level drops in the bucket there will be a point that the length of drop (to the 2nd bucket) will not create enough pulling/sucking action to "climb" the side of the bucket. As you increase the length of drop you increase the length of "climb" you will get while draining. That means a long hose, a steep drop and some good luck.
Much easier to get a fully submersible elect pump. Cost will depend on psi/gal per min you want.

Yes it can be done, but of course it will take awhile. To siphon, submerge the entire garden hose until all the air comes out. Place your thumb over one end of the hose, then drape it out the pool, and the water will come out.

DO IT! I and be sure to take a picture of their face when they discover the empty pool. Just a hose in it and get the suction going until water starts coming out.

Sure. If the pool is situated next to a cliff. You need a place to put the water that is below the bottom of the pool. Otherwise, you'll need to use a pump.

hell yeah, i did that to a prick who went to my school. you get a hose, put one end in the pool, hide behind the fence w/ the other end and start sucking. DONT BLOW! once the water comes out the end ur sucking on it will continue to drain due to the pressure. have fun.
