Maybe it has to do with the chemicals in the pool to keep the water clear? Have no idea, just taking a wild guess.
Actually, after doing some reading, apparently the chlorine works like the salt, making it much more conducive. Your body will carry the electricity even better once it gets to you, and how much damage it will do, will depend on how close you are to the leak.
Does that making any sense? I don't get electrical stuff all that well, this is just a summary of what I read. I just googled it and the question came up in a couple of forums if you want to explore further.
