Welcome to TFP!!
I like the ideas expressed so far. However, what I'd do is get 3-4 bags of Sac-crete, rent a mixer for the day and trowel in a bevel to keep the raised bricks from becoming a 'trip hazard'. If your at all handy with a finishing trowel, you could make a ~3" slope around the entire pool in 1 day. You would probably want to use Laticrete, or a similar product to help the fresh crete bond to the deck and bricks. :idea:
