Synopsis[]

Plot[]
Cricket, after not showering (the water gets you clean), is enjoying the pool, the greatest in Big City, before Gregly tells him it's not, saying the one at the Elkins apartment that happens to be next to the Greens' house is the best. Cricket goes and tells Nancy, Alice, and Tilly there is a pool at the apartment building next to their house, while Tilly gets nervous that they should not break the rules. After Bill tells the family they should just stay at the pool they are already at, everyone (except him) decides to leave and head to the other.
Bill stays behind and participates in an Aquarobics class when a small child springs a leak in their floatie and starts drifting toward the deep end. Bill saves the day and rescues the child, who had apparently lived a full life with no regrets, becoming the local hero and doted upon with beverages, gifts, and phone numbers from impressed ladies. Over at the apartment building, the Greens are trying to figure out how to sneak into the pool. Tilly comes up with a clear disguise and character to play called "A. Resident". While going into the building, Brett calls the Greens over asking them to join him at the pool. Cricket, while enjoying the water that doesn't taste like bleach, comments that this really is the best pool in Big City. Once again, to his dismay, he is told that there is a better pool at the Spritz hotel, complete with two water slides and a butler service. The Greens decide to try and use that pool and leave the one at the apartment building.
Knowing that using this pool is a greater risk, the Greens head to the Spritz. They sneak past the hotel lady to the elevator, only to discover the elevator to the pool needs a keycard to access. They decide to use the airvents to travel through the hotel and get to the roof, and just before splashdown are caught by the hotel staff and put under hotel arrest for breaking international pool law. While locked up, Cricket realizes his quest to find the best pool in Big City has ruined their day together and schemes an idea.
Meanwhile, Bill at the original pool is overwhelmed with his beverage offerings and gifts. The child he rescued has an offering, a gallon gulp soda and climbs on his raft to give it to him. The added weight of the soda is overwhelming and the raft, Bill, and child, began to sink. Bill, unable to move due to the beverages and gifts, can't save the day again but all is not lost. Mark the local hero rescues Bill and the child, and all the attention is now off of Bill.
Back at the hotel closet, where the rest of the family is being held, Cricket has flooded the room thanks to the nearby sink to create a makeshift pool for the rest of the family when the hotel employee that caught them tells them they're free to go. Cricket asks if they can stay and enjoy their new pool, and the employee just shrugs, leaving them in there. They all have fun, but then the rats from the vent swim in the water, making Gramma suggest they should leave.
