AveryMolly raccoons can swim so it's odd that it died in your pool Is it an above ground pool? If there is no easy way out then the simplest solution is to make an easy way out. I know for frogs and snakes you can leave sorta floating ramps. Something similar for critters would probably work.

If it's an in ground pool though with steps I'd say you have another issue. Like perhaps the raccoon had eaten some rat poison and just croaked getting water.

Short of covering it though I don't think you'll find an easy solution to keeping animals from getting to it.
