Initial thoughts:

Do you think I am right in believing that 2 people can carry the barrel together? We can take turns to remain fresh. An alternative would be to create a litter with the rope and poles.

If the poles are strong enough, we could use them to create a bridge to roll the barrel across the pool. We might ahve to create a column or two of cubes midway through to maintain the strength of the poles.

-- someone gets a pole and figures out the depth of the pool. If it isn't too deep, it might be faster to push the barrel in and roll it along the bottom, lifting it out on the other side. The cubes, assuming they are not buoyant, could help here.

-- Blowing up a raft, especially one that is big enough to hold up 300 pounds, would take forever. The only value I see for the raft is to use as part of a litter for carrying.
