You need a GFI outlet anytime you are near water.

As long as the socket is far enough away from the pond. If the outdoor socket was put in by a qualified sparky you will be OK. Most of the pond pumps I was looking at came with a min of 10m cable. My pond is about 3m away from the outdoor socket I use.
