Trivia

  • Second comic to mainly take place around a swimming pool, since Season 3 comic "The Pool Date"; yet, that comic did focus more on Kate's love triangle between Mark Sanders and Salvador Ventura than actual swimming. The McReary boys did have a sub-plot about jumping off a diving board.
  • GTA Nerd actually got the idea from a dream he had during the night of August 8, 2020.
  • The comic is set after "The Mighty J!", since when Joel makes a cameo appearance, he wears the same eye mask as he did in that comic when under the superhero persona.
  • Third appearance of a real firearm in the series after Season 5 comic "The Lockdown" and Season 9 comic "The Mighty J!"; in this case, San Salvador's father has a shotgun for self defense purposes.
  • First comic to put Derrick in the position of the protagonist, although him and Gerry both shared the position of protagonist in "Trading Places".
  • This marks the first time that normally non-speaking objects talk in a cartoonish matter; in this case, characters' lungs, brains, and even San Salvador's heart communicate with each other, to express how they are scared, or how the lungs are running out of oxygen while underwater.
  • The toy torpedo in question is revealed to belong to Steve Madison, which he named Michael, and further goes on to say he "named it after a boy in my Science class which I-", but dismisses his sentence as being a long story he does not want to get into. This implies Steve could have a crush on a boy named Michael at school.
