Faced!
Just last July I was doing laps in a hotel pool, when a huge crowd of about 15 tourist kids show up, all supervised by one careless woman who immediately went to sleep on the poolside furniture.

They were all diving off the poolside into the shallow end, throwing each other into the water, and all those other sorts of things children do to aquatically end their own lives.

I tried to stay away from them, but during one lap underwater I caught the shadow the last possible second of some twunt cannonballing right where I was. I swerved to the side at the last moment, and cracked my face full-force into the pool wall.

Somehow I didn't bleed or break anything, but I did have a mother of a bruise down the bridge of my nose for a couple of weeks. It was shaped sort of like California.
