Is there risk of electrocution while swimming in a pool with the pump on?

No, not from the pump. The pump (what moves the water) and the
filter (usually ~24 inch diameter tank filled with sand) will be
located away from the pool. The electrical connection is at the
pump, but there is no electricity from the pump near the pool; the
lines for the circulation system only carry water. If the pool and
equipment are not grounded and bonded there may be a possibility of
shock or tingly sensation. There is much more of a danger if the
above applies and you stand in damp ground and touch the pump
motor.

Why does your swimming pool pump work when you plug it the garage but when you hook to swimming pool does not work?
You should never run a swimming-pool pump dry!
The most likely problem, from the rather flimsy evidence in your
question hinting at it not rotating, is not with the pump or its
motor but a fault in the electrical supply to the pool plant, or in
the timer or other pump controller.

Asked in Home & Garden, Swimming Pools
What pump size do you need for your swimming pool?
Determine how many gallons of water your swimming pool holds.
You will also need to consider what size filter that you have. If
you have an undersized filter to pump it can create filtration and
circulation problems. Be sure to look at the turnover rate for your
pump and filter that you are considering. If you have an
aboveground pool most pump and filters are sold as a pre-sized
set.
