* Comedian Steve Byrne laments the death of this trope in RealLife in recent years. Years back, when you do this, the person mucks around the water and you all get a good laugh. Nowadays, you do this, the person screams out "Oh, my iPod! My cellphone!" and you're out a few hundred dollars. The trope may make a comeback in the future once waterproof phones become widespread.
* Casa Bonita (restaurant near Denver, depicted in WesternAnimation/SouthPark) has little shows (gunfight between Black Bart and the sheriff, for example) taking place over a large pool of water. You pretty much know that, during any given show, ''somebody'' is going in.
* A tragic variation occurred where [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1330733/Bride-Rachelle-Friedman-paralysed-freak-bachelorette-party-accident.html a bridesmaid pushed a bride into the pool]]. The bride landed wrong and has been paralyzed from the neck down ever since .

* ''Film/TheBurning'': As other guys dive in the lake, Alfred isn't that excited to follow, as he cannot swim. Glazer then rushes to him and pushes him into the water. Moments later, after Woodstock shoots Glazer in the ass with his air pistol while he tries showing off to the girls, camper Rhoda does the same to Glazer while his back is turned.

* In ''Film/GentlemenPreferBlondes'' at the end of "Ain't There Anyone Here For Love?" Dorothy gets knocked into a swimming pool by a dancer leaping over her. This was actually an accident that the director decided to [[ThrowItIn keep in the final cut]] because it was funnier than just having Jane Russell stand on the edge of the pool.

ChekhovsGun. Frequently enforced (at least in live action material) by the aggravations and hazards of filming near a pool -- protecting the equipment from moisture damage and electrical shorts, risk of someone falling in by accident and ruining makeup/wardrobe/props, etc. -- that all add up to avoiding using a set with a pool unless the script demands a pool.

* In the first ''Film/LethalWeapon'', as the heroes are escorting a suspect past a covered pool, the suspect goes for a weapon and Riggs reflexively shoots him. He was trying to be nonlethal (this time) but the injured suspect falls in the pool, is tangled in the plastic covering, and drowns.
