During Ritsuko Chikanari's week, herself and some of the rich students will sunbathe at the pool. If the pool sign is put up, the rich students will be disappointed but go back to their classrooms, however, Ritsuko will ignore the sign. This gives Ryoba a chance to push Ritsuko in the pool while the latter is drugged with a sedative. This is her canonical elimination.

Trivia[]

The swimming pool was implemented in the June 1st, 2017 Build.
The pump room was implemented on the February 19th, 2021 Build.
Before an unknown build, the top of the diving board could be accessed by the protagonist by teleporting there using a button near the ladder. This caused numerous bugs (such as a teacher/hero running around in circles trying to chase the player) before being removed all together.
There used to be a prototype swimming pool that could be seen while riding around Buraza Town, but it was removed when the second version of the town came in the January 1st, 2016 Build.
One of Osana Najimi's unique elimination methods, Sink, involves the swimming pool.
It is possible that in the future, Osana's Thursday sunbathing event will not take place because she left her sunscreen at home. The player would need to steal another student's sunscreen and give it to Osana so that her sunbathing event will take place.^[1]
YandereDev thinks that the protagonist should eventually be able to swim and drown students in the pool but will not make it an option for a while.^[2] There was a message around the pool stating this.
He stated that the idea is that Ayano Aishi can sabotage the pipes inside of this room in order to mess with the pool by draining its water or pump sewage water into said pool. It is currently not possible to interact with the pipes, but in the future, this room will facilitate at least one method to eliminate a specific rival.^[3]
