While GFCI's are reliable, like any other mechanical device, they eventually fail. If string lights fall into the pool while powered and a GFCI isn't working (or present) the risk of electrical shock for bathers (or anyone barefoot who comes in contact with the lights) is probable. Are stylish lights over the pool worth the risk? You'll NEVER see them over my pool!
