Adult Swim
Pool without children
Adult Swim is a late-night programming block on Cartoon Network featuring animated and live-action content aimed at adults rather than children.
The name comes from pool terminology—designated times when children must leave the water.
Shows like *Rick and Morty* and *Aqua Teen Hunger Force* are Adult Swim staples.
The brand is known for surreal humor, stoner comedy, and offbeat aesthetics: I stayed up watching Adult Swim.
