* ''[[ComicBook/SunnySeries Sunny Makes a Splash]]'': On her first visit to the country club pool, Sunny gets in line for the high dive at the pool, sees how tall it is, and panics when she looks down before running back and climbing down, ashamed she didn't dive. She spends the summer working at the snack shack and tries to consider it, but is still too scared. On the last day of work, she laments she never did so. Jay tells her the trick is not to look down but just straight ahead, and with Tony's motivation she is finally brave enough to jump off it.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'':
** One episode has Stu going on the high dive at a community swimming pool, despite the fact that the last time he tried, [[NoodleIncident he froze up and they had to call the fire department to get him down.]] At first, Stu freezes up again and the lifeguard tries to talk him into coming down, but when he sees Tommy bouncing on the low dive, [[PapaWolf he immediately gets over his fear]] and makes a perfect dive, getting into the water in time to save Tommy when he falls in.
** Chucky recounts having a scary experience like this, but with slides rather than diving boards. While playing in a large ball pit, Chucky goes to slide down a small slide nearby. He got lost in the balls and accidentally climbed onto "the big kid's slide" which from Chucky's perspective looks like it stretches up ten stories. He also has a line of older children behind him telling him to go down so they can have their turn. Chucky breaks down crying and has to have an adult get him down.
