Moles in pool...

This is likely not the right spot, but its left field so here is as good as any where. I just fished the second mole out of my pool this summer. The pool itself is still a bit of a swamp. I've been remodeling the house the pool belongs to and made a few passes at the pool. The best I got was a milky white and then got too busy to go further. I was told it was a sand bottom pool and I'm a bit worried they dug up into the pool. Thoughts? Do moles just go running across a yard and fall in a pool?

Pictures? I'm curious, but don't have any tips, IF they were digging into it, I'd think the pool would be "leaking" (losing water?)

I buried the last one, but I'll be sure to snap a pic if there is another. Just your run of the mill waterlogged rodent. There seems to be a cat in the area that likes to leave presents in the yard, but usually it's bits scattered around. Perhaps​ it chased them in. Still a bit odd. I've not seen a lot of evidence of moles in the yard otherwise and I pity the mole that tries to dig in the clay/rock mix that is my yard.
 
James W I have terminated 2 moles
last Oct. by flooding them out with a garden hose ! It took 1 hr filling all the tracks around pool ! But they left tracks in pool liner . Lucky I got them because they can dig 100 ft in one day I ended up buying 6 mole chaser
and place them around the pool so far so good but they are still out there outside the perimeter of the mole chaser I plan on digging a trench around the pool and filling it
it up with rock 40 inches deep The that will stop them !!
