I'm not sure a cherry picker would work here but I don't know enough about cherry pickers to be able to answer for sure. Like cherry pickers are meant more for up than out and these guys aren't more than like 16ish feet up and are probably further than that from the closest pool edge, the boom might not be able to go that far out that low with any sort of load on it.

Cherry pickers go out just fine.
I've worked in a few over water and slightly below ground level. Yes, you unhook & change to a pfd at the waters edge.
