Default How not to wire the pool area

Wanna bet??????

OTOH, pool water isn't all that conductive. Water in general isn't very
conductive unless it has something like salt in it (consider all the
Christmas lighting set-ups out in the rain...). And, of course, to get a
jolt, one has to make themselves part of the circuit, i.e., connect
themselves between power and ground. Just being in an energized pool
wouldn't do it (consider the little bird perched on the power line...).

So, they'd probably get away with it...
