* In ''[[Ranma ½]]'', Akane first establishes her [[Super Drowning Skills]] with this gag, jumping into the ocean to save Ranma from Cologne's attack failing to remember that she is utterly helpless underwaterin the water.
** In a very similar joke, Ryouga once dives into the water to save a drowning Akane, completely forgetting that he'll turn into a small black pig in contact with the water. Ranma even lampshades this mid-dive.
** During the Pantyhose Taro arc, this antagonist kidnaps her and takes her to a remote temple in the mountains, then leaves to confront Happosai. Akane escapes, comes across a river, and leaps in... only to splash and sputter her way back to shore. She even says "Oh no! I forgot I can't swim!" afterwards.

* In one [[Pepe Le Pew]] cartoon, Pepe sees Penelope on a cruise boat and runs after it. As he sinks he calmly tells the audience, "Silly me, I forgot I cannot swim."
* In one episode of ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', Numbuh 4 dove at an aspargus sea to chase what he believed to be a cheeseburger and then he remembered he couldn't swim.
* In ''[[The Owl House]]'' {{sapoilerspoiler|episode "Thanks to Them", Hunter (who has been possessed by Belos and is frantically [[Fighting From the Inside]]) throws a vial of Titan Blood into a lake. Belos regains control, dives after it - and sinks like a rock. A big irony here is, historically, knowing how to swim could have saved many innocents who were unjustly accused of witchcraft by corrupt lawmen like Belos.}}
