Almost. The collar on my extendable pole was loose when I was brushing, I leaned forward on it and it gave way ... almost took a dive.

I once fell in my pool in January a few years back. The week had been very cold so the water temp was ~38F and the air temp was ~45F. I fell in fully clothed so it took a few seconds for the water saturate my clothes. Once it did, I have to say it was one of the coldest moments I have ever experienced. I ran into the house and immediately took a warm shower.

If you don't mind swear words or can turn your sound off, google: "youtube man falls cleaning pool" for a video that includes an alternate 'slam' and more evidence that TFP swimming pool cleaning methods are superior!
Maybe, but there are no YouTube vids so you can't prove it. I will say that I take my cell phone outta my pocket around the pool!

Cost me $300 the year before last. I fell in while pressure washing around the pool. My phone died a slow, agonizing death over the next several days due to the salt corrosion on the motherboard.

I "fall in" all of the time while I am mowing hehe Of course I have to get off the mower to "fall in" then jump back on to finish.
We do have a NO cell phones on the pool deck rule though!

I have not only fallen in while cleaning a pool...but it was a gross GREEN pool I was helping a friend rescue.
Don't even have a clever equipment excuse! I was kneeling at the side, pouring in bleach, and just...fell in. Duhhhhhhhhhhh.
Just...ewwwwww.

I've fallen in twice, once almost taking a wheelbarrow full of dirt with me. The second time showing my kids a corn snake wife now threatening to install safety railings
It's just like when I'm in my boat; I never fall in, but I do occasionally decide to go swimming on the spur of the moment!
I have fell... On purpose... ?

Almost went in this week. Leaning over to get the solar cover straightened... just caught myself in push up formation over the corner of the pool. I had thoughts of me wrapping into the pool cover like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable...
