School Sports Day
At some point in the distant past, someone at my school had built a large concrete tank behind the sheds and called it a swimming pool. Proud of this, they had a "Swimming Sports Day" in which everyone had to participate, even those who couldn't swim (they got to walk across the shallow end of the tank).
This would probably have been OK if the pool hadn't turned a deep opaque green the night before due to lack of maintainance. Even the school sports stars didn't want to go near the gloopy mess in the pool. We were practically pushed in. I'm sure some of the younger kids never surfaced again and the non-swimmers looked petrified.
Tell us your sports day horrors.

Boner
Interform swimming, just at the age when puberty in boys is working it's way down from your acne ridden face, past your pubic sprouting feable chest, to your groinal region.
Two girls in our year (out of the 5 girls that DIDN'T fake a period and actually attended), thought it would be fun to go round the boys that were about to race, and start touching their leg and generally talk dirty to them. They also seemed to direct their attention on the boys wearing the smallest trunks. Let's just say that a few kids in our year became know simply as "boner" from then on there. Luckily I opted for swimming shorts... lesson learned.
