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.

It was awesome...They had this underwater viewing room at my local pool. You could sit in this room, and watch everyone swim around, pull faces, touch the bottom... heaps of fun.
I forgot my bathers/swimmers that day, and the teachers made me swim in my undies. Turns out that white underwear goes see through when wet, and all my 14 year old class mates had front row seats.
The water was cold too :(
