[[File:
A pool area full of bikini-clad women (mostly), either sunbathing or swimming.
Line 7 ⟶ 6:
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 [[Spy Fiction]] (with the justification that it's harder to conceal a bug) and younger cousin of the [[Beach Episode]].
{{examples|Examples}}▼
Not to be confused with [[Bad Guys Play Pool]]. Or with a [[Furo Scene]].
== Anime & Manga ==
* Episode 8 of ''[[Excel Saga (
* The first episode of ''[[Mai-Otome 0
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has an episode which mostly takes place around the olympic-sized pool at the Class Rep's [[Big Fancy House]].
* The setting of the [[All There in the Manual|very first Sound Stage]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''. It featured [[Karaoke Box|Karaoke]], [[Lolicon|nine-years-old girls in bathing suits]], and a [[Monster of the Week]] 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 [[Fan Service]].
* Plenty of manga chapters in ''[[Ranma
* The manga of ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' has one of these scenes in the seventh volume, involving Uo in a bikini, Hana in a low-cut one-piece, and Tohru in {{spoiler|a school swimsuit}}.
* ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'''s "Endless Eight". The sole purpose was to beat the number of swimsuit episodes in ''[[K-On!]]'' (which had two). Which it did. By ''six''.
* ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'' 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.
* ''[[Maria Holic]]'' has Kanade expecting this. But when she gets to take part...
* ''[[Code Geass]]'': One of the [[Picture Drama
* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro
* ''[[Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou]]'' episode four is a pool episode.
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''[[James Bond (
** ''[[
** ''[[For Your Eyes Only (
** ''[[
* The ''[[Starsky and Hutch (
* The [[Every One Remembers the Stripper|iconic]] scene in ''[[Fast Times
* Gender-flipped in ''Phat Girlz'' when a glistening, speedo-clad Jimmy Jean-Louis emerges from the pool in slow motion (while Etta James' "At Last" plays).
* The caddy invasion of the country club pool in ''[[Caddyshack]]''; which results in at least one topless female character.
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
** Clark Griswold's fantasy sequence in ''Christmas Vacation''.
* Dana Delany and Stephanie Niznik swim nude in ''[[Exit to Eden]]''.
* One of the many pointless scenes in ''[[Laserblast]]'' involves teens in bikinis and board shorts enjoying the pool at some girl's birthday party. The main reason for the scene seems to be to pan across several dozen fairly ordinary-looking half-naked California teens, while the film takes a breather from its not-very-pulse-pounding plot.
* ''[[
* ''[[Brain Donors]]'' has a scene where Roland Flakfizer shows up sitting with several beauties in a pool ''that's the back end of a stretch limo''.
== Literature ==
* One of these appears in the ''[[
* The main characters of ''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.
Line 51 ⟶ 53:
* ''[[CSI: Miami]]'', very frequently, but the main characters never end up in bikinis.
* ''[[Knight Rider]]'' episode "The Scent of the Roses".
* ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'', several times.
** Most notably after she [[Fan Service|strips to her underwear]] and [[Soft Water|high-dives off a penthouse balcony]] into the hotel pool.
* ''[[The Unit]]''
** One episode played with this, involving a ''most'' fanservicy scene of [[Summer Glau]] 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 ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' 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''.
* ''[[Burn Notice]]'' enjoys this trope. It really really enjoys it.
* ''[[NCIS]]''
** One of Ziva David's very first scenes occurs in a pool. Since it's plot-related, she's swimming laps in a one-piece.
** She does get bikini-time in season 5 -- and it carries over to season 6 in photos the boys seem to appreciate.
* Used frequently in ''[[Shark]]''.
* ''[[Thunder in Paradise]]'' is pretty much built around this. Oh, and it has a [[Cool Boat]] in it.
* The [[Fetish Fuel|"Xander gets out of the pool dripping wet and wearing only a Speedo"]] [[Mr. Fanservice|scene]] in the second season of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''.
* Another male example: In the short-lived Fox series ''New Amsterdam,'' the hero, 400-year-old hunk John Amsterdam, 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.
* From ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'': [http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/679770 Schmitts Gay Beer].
* In a [[Soap Opera]]
Line 81 ⟶ 83:
* Not bad so much as morally ambiguous, but Mayor Quimby has one in ''[[The Simpsons]]''.
* Happens in several episodes of ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' ("Marabounta", "Déjà Vu", "The Secret", "Kadic Bombshell"...), mostly for Phys. Ed. classes. Since this is set in France and not Japan, though, the swimsuits aren't regulated. Most of the girls are wearing one-pieces, however. Except Sissi.
* The Pool Episode in ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' isn't exactly standard for this trope... since it involves fighting with [[Those Two Bad Guys|Those Two Bad Lifeguards]] and their [[Humongous Mecha]] chair. Par for the course for the series, otherwise.
