For small turtles you could make something like a bridle used for kites with a few (S) hook's to attach to the top rim. Braided fishing is very strong or leader material works well.
If turtle is heavy , you could use PVC to make a (U) shape brace to go around then up sides and hook around the top rim ? Or use PVC to make a stand in the water but to me that takes up swimming room but works.
Suction cups work but over time will have to replace now and then.
Google DIY turtle basking docks and click on images for some ideas may help.
Some turtles don't like the feel of egg crate , may have to use some kind of mat on it.
Super simple and cheap from a dollar store , a small or to size a basket. See below and tie it to the rim.
