For how long and at what time were the caddies of the movie "Caddyshack", allowed in the pool?

The story behind the answer

The caddies of the movie “Caddyshack” were allowed in the pool for 15 minutes, from 1:00 to 1:15.

The brief swimming period is part of the film’s comic portrait of Bushwood Country Club, where the young caddies occupy a low-status position beneath the wealthy members. Their tightly restricted pool time turns an ordinary club privilege into another example of the class hierarchy that drives much of the story.

The joke appears during the film’s Caddy Day material, alongside the caddies’ banter, pranks, and encounters with the club’s eccentric adult members. It is easy to confuse the time window with another pool-related moment, especially the later scenes involving the gopher, Carl Spackler, or the poolside antics of the club members. The trivia answer refers specifically to the posted caddy-swimming schedule: 1:00–1:15, a quarter-hour.

Released in 1980, “Caddyshack” was directed by Harold Ramis and became known for its improvised comedy, memorable one-liners, and overlapping storylines involving Danny Noonan, Ty Webb, Judge Smails, Al Czervik, and Carl Spackler.
