Good question, it seems there is noting specific to this in the codebook. When I was in Alberta I called the AHJ with this same question and I never did get a definitive answer.
Hopefully someone has an answer.

It has to be at least 3M away unless separated by a fence, wall, or other permanent barrier.
68-068 (7) Except as permitted by Rule 68-070, the following equipment shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter:
(a) Electrical equipment placed in the water in the pool; and
(b) Audio amplifiers connected to loudspeakers in the pool water; and
(c) Electrical equipment located within the confines of the pool walls or within 3 m of the inside walls of the pool and not suitably separated from the pool area by a fence, wall, or other permanent barrier; and
(d) Receptacles located in wet areas of a building, and associated with the pool, such as locker and change rooms.
