Default turtle in a koi pond

Thanks for all the responses so far. In my koi pond I would build a small
floating area that he would be able to climb onto. Something like an old
partially submerged log anchored to the middle of the pond. Unless the
turtle could get a running start and learn to jump it is unlikely that he
would be able to use that as a way to hop out of that pond ;-) As to
hurting koi that is my main question. In the tank he is currently living
I placed a few gambusia and a bullfrog tadpole. So far he seems to ignore
them. I think he has consumed a fair number of smaller snails I tossed in
there.

===========================
A baby slider found our smaller 880+ pond and ate the same pellets the fish
ate. He grew like crazy. We released him in a the nearby lake the
following year.
