School Sports DayAt 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.

worst sports day ever...Our Swimming gala (Whoopee!) The sadistic PE teachers thought it would bee a laugh to have swimming competitions. Forcing us already body concious 14 year old girls not only to wear swimming costumes in front of each other ( the more confident had on bikinis) but to comptete in them! Love my school. What make this "sports day" so particularly mortifying was at 14 years old i was rather well endowed in the old booby department (you know where this is going right?), as i was giving it my all in the 100m my swimming costume slid down and my booby fell out! no really. In front of the rest of the class and the teachers. Then in the next race (yes i was forced to carry on) i had an asthma attack. Shockingly nobody mentioned it. afterwards
this was just one of many horrific soprts days, the others involved running and jumping and general sports. Hate it hate it hate it.
