Right after shutting off the power, and then he jumps in the pool to pull out his son.. but wouldn't the water still be electrified for a while? Wouldn't it have electric current running through it for a while after that?
shareNo. Water isn't electrically "charged" it's not a battery or capacitator.

The other poster is correct in saying that no, the water wouldn't have kept an electrical charge.
I just want to add, that it is highly unlikely that the situation (the water being 'electrified' at all, for more than a split second) would happen in real life like shown in the movie, and that it has been fictionalized for the purposes of the story.
Just to add to that: This facet of the movie is a dramatization of the death of Karim Rida Said, late son of the Syrian businessman Wafic Said, who died in a swimming pool accident in the home of a Saudi noble.
The film is actually full of such small facets that are taken from real-life events of the last 40-ish years.
