Pool Rule. Highly professional technique employed on soap sets which do not feature a real swimming pool. When a character supposedly dives in said swimming pool, what actually happens is he/she jumps off camera, followed moments later by a splash on the soundtrack and a bucket of water being thrown on the set. Rule also in effect for lakes, ponds, and rivers.

What's so funny is that he looks like he's walking off set and then there is a huge splash. There is no spring action! Also who wants to swim after dealing with a creepy professor? That line is laughable. Still I find myself watching soaps after all these years. hehe
