* AgeGapRomance: At 25, Susan is a full decade older than the teenaged Mike.
* DirtyOldMan: The swimming instructor is married with children, but is not only having an affair with the younger Susan, he's also incredibly inappropriate with his teenaged students and is seen touching and groping them. Susan makes the cutting remark that they're only excited by his attention because they're not old enough to recognize that he's a loser.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: One of Susan's first significant moments after giving Mike a tour of the pool is to offhandedly insult his mother, apropos of nothing. Mike is predictably upset, but when he tries a NoYou retort, she casually remarks that her own mother is dead, which causes Mike to feel guilty and try to win her affection back -- overall a pretty telling {{Foreshadowing}} of their dynamic.
* HarmfulToMinors: Mike's job involves Susan more or less pimping him out to guests for extra tips, which causes him to explore his sexual development in a twisted and unhealthy way.
