Why does low voltage lighting have to be 10 feet from pool?

I just put in some low voltage landscape lighting and a few of the fixtures are about 3 feet from the edge of my inground pool. The instructions say not to have any fixtures within 10 feet from the pool "for maximum safety". I thought low voltage lighting was completely safe. Why shouldn't I have fixtures within 10 feet from the pool edge?

1. you answered your own question "for maximum safety" . Low-voltage isn't no-voltage and voltage+pools = bad.
