Rule of Pool	comment	A.k.a The Law of Inevitable Immersion. If there's a swimming pool, and the people around it are fully clothed (i.e., not in swimsuits), someone's going to end up in that pool — either by falling in or being pushed. Sometimes by jumping out of a building. If the program is a Police Procedural, the immersion will have already occurred, and the police will be investigating its tragic results (or possibly its antecedent, as not all bodies found dead in the water necessarily died there). If it's an action genre, someone's going to fall into that pool and die in a diffusing cloud of pink. A form of Chekhov's Gun. 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. May overlap with Symbolic Serene Submersion, if the water represents something else. Not at all related to the Rule of Cool, but pools are cool, figuratively and literally.

Captain Spratt tells Wendover to cut out the horseplay, so he shoves him, and he bumps into Dawn, who lurches forward but is pulled back by the elastic of her bra strap (still being held by Wendover) and bumps into Wendover, who in turn knocks into Captain Spratt and sends him falling into the pool. Basil and Roddy try to pull him out until they hear the emergency bell. Because Captain Spratt never got to announce it was only a drill, they (and all the other passengers) panic and drop Captain Spratt into the pool again. Satterjee then tries to help him out but isn't strong enough and Captain Spratt is dropped in once again, while Satterjee follows shortly after when Basil takes him down with him after he loses a scuffle with Dr. Burke over who gets the only lifejacket.

An early round with a general, an upgraded version of a monster the hero thought completely blownuptified, or another Rider under a misunderstanding, will happen on a bridge over a river and the Rider will be taking a bath. Kamen Rider 555 was especially fond of it.

Basil and Roddy try to pull him out until they hear the emergency bell. Because Captain Spratt never got to announce it was only a drill, they (and all the other passengers) panic and drop Captain Spratt into the pool again. Satterjee then tries to help him out but isn't strong enough and Captain Spratt is dropped in once again, while Satterjee follows shortly after when Basil takes him down with him after he loses a scuffle with Dr. Burke over who gets the only lifejacket.
