History Main / PoolScene

* ''Film/IndiaSweetsAndSpices'': Alia is pretty and likes to swim, which provides the viewer with multiple scenes where she's in her swimsuit (although they aren't very revealing).

* The music video for "Jesus He Knows Me" by Music/{{Genesis}}.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}''

* Another male example: In the short-lived Fox series ''Series/NewAmsterdam,'' the hero, 400-year-old hunk John Amsterdam, [[SkinnyDipping swims naked]] at the Y after hours. (He has a key, since he's one of the founding members.) His partner runs into him there and unexpectedly gets an eyeful when he climbs out.

* ''Series/TheUnit''

* ''Film/ThePool''. It's all in the name.

* The ''Film/StarskyAndHutch'' film has one of these.

* In a SoapOpera PoolScene, a real pool isn't featured. Instead, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLRNU5Q1R4Q he or she will jump off-camera followed a splash on the soundtrack and a bucket of water's thrown on the set.]]

* Gender-flipped in ''Film/PhatGirlz'' when a glistening, speedo-clad Jimmy Jean-Louis [[SexySurfacingShot emerges from the pool]] in SlowMotion (while Music/EttaJames' "At Last" plays).

* ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade'' had an episode towards the end featuring a cruise ship with a pool at the beginning, as the main characters travel to Europe.

* The first episode of ''Anime/MyOtome0Sifr'' has a scene in a hotel pool. However, the main characters aren't actually swimming in it, but instead fall into it.
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has an episode which mostly takes place around the olympic-sized pool at the Class Rep's BigFancyHouse.
* The setting of the [[AllThereInTheManual very first Sound Stage]] of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. It featured [[KaraokeBox Karaoke]], nine-years-old girls in bathing suits, and a MonsterOfTheWeek made of water that tried to separate said nine-years-old girls from said bathing suits. Yes, the first season is quite blatant on its {{Fanservice}}.
* Plenty of manga chapters in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', due to Fûrinkan High's Phys. Ed. curriculum (and to show off Akane's SuperDrowningSkills). [[GenderBender For obvious reasons]], Ranma always ends up on the women's side. Mind that these take place at school, and therefore the swimsuits are the standard regulation type rather than the sexy bikini type.

* ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' has a pool episode where most of the class gets to go to a water park. Cue {{Gainaxing}} at every turn, especially from Margery Daw and Yoshida.
* ''Manga/MariaHolic'' has Kanade expecting this. But when she gets to take part...
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': One of the {{Picture Drama}}s has the characters going to the pool. Cornelia in a bondage-inspired bikini, rawr. It also offers a more candid look at Guilford and Darlton.

* ''Fanfic/FriendshipIsMagicalGirls'' naturally has one of these in the episode aptly called "Pool". It features the mahoushoujo and Spike spending a day at Rarity's pool, getting some last minute relaxation in before their showdown with [[ArcVillain Sunset Shimmer]].

** ''Film/TheLivingDaylights''
* The ''[[Film/StarskyAndHutch Starsky & Hutch]]'' film has one of these.
* The [[BestKnownForTheFanservice iconic]] scene in ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh'', wherein Brad [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbates]] while daydreaming about Linda [[SexySurfacingShot getting out of the pool]] and taking her top off.
* Gender-flipped in ''Film/PhatGirlz'' when a glistening, speedo-clad Jimmy Jean-Louis [[SexySurfacingShot emerges from the pool]] in SlowMotion (while Music/EttaJames' "At Last" plays).

* Dana Delany and Stephanie Niznik swim nude in ''Literature/ExitToEden''.

* ''Film/AllCheerleadersDie'' has the cheerleaders' traditional annual pool party, with all of the cheerleaders in bikinis. It is here that Maddy plants the first seeds to break up Tracy and Terry.

* In ''Film/{{Priceless}}'' this trope is tweaked for drama. Gorgeous Irene (Creator/AudreyTautou), a veteran GoldDigger, goes out to a hotel pool in a bikini for some sun. However she is soon very unpleasantly surprised to discover that her MealTicket Gilles found out she was cheating on him, checked out of the hotel, and took absolutely everything in the room with him. A terrified Irene realizes that she is marooned there at the pool with no possessions whatsoever other than her bikini and wrap.

* ''Series/{{Airwolf}}'', at least twice.

* ''Series/{{Alias}}'', several times.
** Most notably after she [[{{Fanservice}} strips to her underwear]] and [[SoftWater high-dives off a penthouse balcony]] into the hotel pool.
* ''Series/TheUnit''
** One episode played with this, involving a ''most'' {{fanservice}}y scene of Creator/SummerGlau in a bikini, on a floaty chair... in a kid's inflatable wading pool.
** Another episode does this straight, with Bridget getting out of the pool.
* One scene in ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' has Jessie sunbathing at a pool while Derek Reese shows up to question her. There's no particular reason why that scene needed to be at a pool, except that it involves Stephanie Jacobson in a bikini, which is reason ''enough''.
* ''Series/BurnNotice'' enjoys this trope. It really really enjoys it.

%%* Used frequently in ''Series/{{Shark}}''.
* ''Series/ThunderInParadise'' is pretty much built around this. Oh, and it has a CoolBoat in it.
* The "Xander gets out of the pool dripping wet and wearing only a Speedo" [[MrFanservice scene]] in the second season of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.

* Music/SClub7 had quite a few of these in the ''Miami 7'' series. They were employed at a hotel so naturally, they used the pool from time to time.
* The ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' TV-movie "Wedding In Vegas" featured a pool scene. It didn't seem to serve a purpose other than getting the five leads all wet and into swimsuits. Once Slater gets out of the pool, things get interesting. He sits in [[ChekhovsGunman Carla's]] deck chair and starts chatting her up...
* In the ''Series/OddSquad'' episode "Skip Day," Dr. O shows Otto a video of Olive swimming at the Odd Squad pool. Since Olive has the skips, she's still wearing her Odd Squad uniform.
-->'''Polly Graph:''' Looks like she skipped the step where she put on a bathing suit.

* ''Series/MurderSheWrote'': "Murder in Milan" features several gratuitous scenes set around the pool at the film festival, featuring a multitude of bikini-clad extras.

* The video for "Stacy's Mom" by Music/FountainsOfWayne, which is also a shoutout to ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh''.

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheGaryColemanShow'', the segment "In the Swim" features Lydia hosting a pool party at her mansion, and Lydia is seen in a bikini in this episode. The arch-nemesis Hornswoggle plans to sabotage the event.
* The 1980s ''WesternAnimation/RichieRich'' cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera did feature a handful of episodes with a pool scene. In "A Younger Irona", Richie and Gloria were seen swimming in a pool on the Rich estate, while in the beginning of "The Haunting of Castle Rich", Richie was seen swimming in a pool onboard his private self-driven double-decker bus in England, while Gloria was seen lounging on the deck.

* The first episode of ''Anime/MaiOtome0Sifr'' has a scene in a hotel pool. However, the main characters aren't actually swimming in it, but instead fall into it.

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has an episode which mostly takes place around the olympic-sized pool at the Class Rep's BigFancyHouse.

* In Chapter 29 of ''FanFic/OriginStory'', a meeting between Alex Harris, Tony Stark, and Natasha Romanov takes place next to the Black Panther's private swimming pool. The fact that Stark never once snarks about the fact that the two women are sunbathing while ''topless'' without caring that he's there is a sign of how [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness serious Stark is taking the situation they are in]].

* ''LightNovel/YokuWakaruGendaiMahou'' episode four is a pool episode.

* The Pool Episode in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' isn't exactly standard for this trope... since it involves fighting with [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Those Two Bad Lifeguards]] and their HumongousMecha chair. Par for the course for the series, otherwise.

* Gender-flipped in ''Film/PhatGirlz'' when a glistening, speedo-clad Jimmy Jean-Louis [[[[SexySurfacingShot emerges from the pool]] in SlowMotion (while Music/EttaJames' "At Last" plays).

A pool area full of bikini-clad women (mostly), either sunbathing or swimming.

A particularly common element is for one of the female bikini-clad leads to get out of the pool in slo-mo, water glistening on her body.

An "interesting" meeting point in SpyFiction (with the justification that it's harder to conceal a bug) and younger cousin of the BeachEpisode. Not to be confused with BadGuysPlayPool. See TwoPersonPoolParty for a more explicit variation.

* The main characters of ''[[Literature/CHERUBSeries CHERUB]]'' all go swimming together at least once, and there are lots of scenes throughout the sreies of one or two of them in the pool at one time or another.

** Anna Williams's ending in ''Tekken 3'' features her and sister Nina by a pool at a resort. There are two versions of this ending -- Anna is busy chatting with a group of guys and Nina gets jealous and pulls her sister's bikini top off. The US version was censored into Anna eventually walking off with all the boys while Nina looks on shocked.
