The Doctor's TARDIS was equipped with at least one Olympic-sized swimming pool. (PROSE: Loving the Alien)
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
The swimming pool was used by Leela, and Borusa also hid from the Sontarans in this area. Both the Fourth Doctor and Leela referred to this room as a "bathroom", and the Doctor described what K9 called "[being] totally immersed in H2O" in this room as a "fine time to take a bath". (TV: The Invasion of Time) Sarah Jane Smith had earlier taken a swim in the pool. (PROSE: Evolution)
During the Doctor's fourth incarnation, the TARDIS had two pools. (AUDIO: White Ghosts) One of them was down the hall from the café. (PROSE: The Last Thing You Ever See)
The Fourth Doctor once left his Five Hundred Year Diary at the TARDIS swimming pool. (AUDIO: The Final Phase)
While looking for Leela aboard the TARDIS, the Fourth Doctor checked both swimming pools, along with the boot cupboard, the sculleries, and the lagoon. He found her in the library, reading. (AUDIO: White Ghosts)
Peri Brown once used liquid nitrogen to freeze the pool into a skating rink, much to the Fifth Doctor's displeasure. (AUDIO: The Roof of the World)
The Seventh Doctor once jettisoned the TARDIS's pool due to leakage, which Mel found bothersome as she wanted to go swimming at the time. (TV: Paradise Towers) The Doctor mentioned to Richard that they'd removed the pool as every time they crash landed, it flooded the ship. (TV: The Disney Club)
He later restored the pool, and used it to brew bootleg beer in order to infiltrate 1929 Chicago's gangster subculture. Ace failed to appreciate the state of the pool when she wanted to swim, nor did she appreciate the Doctor's joke that swimming in the beer would "give it added body." (PROSE: Blood Harvest)
When Izzy Sinclair had her body temporarily swapped with that of the alien Destrii, Izzy had to occasionally use the Eighth Doctor's swimming pool to keep Destrii's amphibious body alive. (COMIC: Beautiful Freak)

When the Tenth Doctor and K9 visited a planet for several hours to help sort out an issue on a planet of slobbering dog monsters, Rose-the-cat became very bored and began doing random things in the TARDIS. One of these involved visiting the TARDIS pool and throwing potted planted into it.
Sometime later, when the Doctor was attempting to form a list of things to clean in the ship, the pair discovered the plant-polluted-pool. Rose acted just as shocked as the Doctor was, pretending to be wholly unaware how such a thing could happen. (COMIC: A Rose by Any Other Name)
The Tenth Doctor cited the swimming pool as a major sight in the TARDIS, while explaining it was bigger on the inside even than the control room would have people believe. (AUDIO: Death in the New Forest)
When he first met Amy Pond near Easter 1996, the Eleventh Doctor was soaked because — as he explained to her — he had just climbed out of the pool which had fallen into the TARDIS' library during the crash. After the TARDIS finished repairing itself, the Doctor mentioned that he wasn't sure where the swimming pool was now and suggested that it was possibly in the wardrobe. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)
The Doctor implied that he swam laps in the pool as a way of avoiding Amy and Rory when they were being amorous. (TV: Amy's Choice)
The Doctor took Alice Obiefune to the pool during her first visit on the TARDIS.

Later, Alice witnessed the Kharitite and its owner, a giant adolescent walking squid, playing together in the pool. (COMIC: After Life)
