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.

first sportsday as a dad.eldest kid had her first sportsday last summer and it was fantastic. old favorites are still there - egg and spoon, sack race, etc. Obstacle race consisted of running 10 meters in a coppers helmet & feather boa whilst skipping a hula hoop. shame the paranoid fucks wont allow cameras/video cameras - nonce sence!
