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|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 [[TARDIS wardrobe|wardrobe]].

The Doctor landed the TARDIS against a partially constructed [[skyscraper]] in [[July]] [[1969]], with its exterior oriented face-up. He then instructed Amy to open the doors all the way to the swimming pool. A moment later, [[River Song]] dove from several stories above into the pool, breaking her fall. Her impact was sufficient that some water splashed even beyond the exterior doors. This was done to fake River's death in the eyes of [[the Silence]].
