    Generally people are less conductive than salt water ,and more conductive than fresh. 


    If you are the high resistance element, you do not want to be in series with a body of conducting water - swimming as it were in between the capacitor plates and  finding most of the volts dropped across you .




    I can certainly understand that grasping a (stainless) steel ladder in order to exit a pool could be risky. However, in this incident, where was the live electrode in contact with the water, and where was the "ground".
