Would anyone like to explain what the real dangers actually are?

I think I tend to agree with you.
This is a classic example of blindly assuming that water and electricity
don't mix.

Assuming that the power tool is suitable waterproof and supplied via an
RCD the worker (who is not necessarily an electrician at all) is at
little risk from an electric shock.

The alternative method draining the pool and using an access tower would
be well over the top, if all he's doing is putting a hook up.

I would tend to agree, although it would have been even less risk if he
used a cordless!

Agreed 100%, although even my Makita (quality cordless) with a DeWalt
extreme (sharp) masonry bit would struggle with concrete.

If you dropped a cheap and nasty mains drill in the pool it still isn't
going to give him even a mild jolt.

You would need to do something really silly with an earth wire before you
could get a shock.

A Hilti gun would be my preferred method its quicker even if it is more
dangerous.

Like reaching in to retrieve it...

Haven't seen an earthed drill for decades.

It would have little effect.. there has to be a current path through the
body for you to get a shock.
There isn't one created by just dropping a drill in a pool you have to have
something else too.

Less chance of getting a shock then.
