The Pool Deck was an idea that Colton Kerr and Caleb Scherbarth came up with. Both of these two have played high school water polo for all 4 years. They wanted to incorporate the water polo team into a short film somehow, and they eventually landed on a spoof of "The Office" featuring the members of the team. Everyone's exaggerated personalities made for a comedic representation of the Mission Viejo water polo team.
