This is the section Infinity was mentioning.

680.13 Maintenance Disconnecting Means. One or more
means to simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors
shall be provided for all utilization equipment other than
lighting. Each means shall be readily accessible and within sight
from its equipment and shall be located at least 1.5 m (5 ft)
horizontally from the inside walls of a pool, spa, fountain, or
hot tub unless separated from the open water by a permanently
installed barrier that provides a 1.5 m (5 ft) reach path or
greater. This horizontal distance shall be measured from the
water's edge along the shortest path required to reach the
disconnect.
