Umm. We need to know volume so we need all the measurements. Width x depth x height.
Then WxDxH (best do it in metres) - you get the number of cubic metres of water in the pool. The go use Volume conversion calculator - cubic feet - gallons - liters
for the rest.
East peasy ...

Pi x radius squared x depth = 3.1415 x 25 x 2 = about 157 cubic feet = roughly 4.5 cubic meters = 980 gallons = 4360 litres.
Also = 1,251,746 teaspoons if you're interested.

It depends on how much the kids are going to pee in it 
If it's filled from the mains supply then the water will already have chlorine in which will last a while (but not long)
Is this a round 10 ft diameter being 2 ft deep? If so this is 4,400 litres or 1000 gallons.
Try and keep a cover over it as this will keep it warmer and it will take longer to go green.

Radius = 5ft = 1.524m
Surface Area= Pi*1.524*1.524=7.3 m2
Depth 2ft= 0.61M -> Volume=7.3*0.61=4.45 m3
1m3=1000 litres -> Volume in litres=4450
Some rounding going on but not enough to make any real difference

Yeah the kids take after their dad - they drink too much. You quoted my pre-edited post which I swiftly corrected when it dawned on me that I had cocked up the maths!Anyway I never bothered with chlorine for a splash pool.......
