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.

Ferret manCos at primary school i was kinda cross between a fat kid,a lazy kid and a shy kid,i never took part in sports day. I remember in year 5,getting bored,and wandering off to the side fence of the field which looked onto the street. There I found a guy with a pet ferret,who i spent most of sports day prodding (ferret,not the man).
Although i have thankfully seen my last sports day,i spent my later school years sitting in the shade,with my nerdy gay friend,writing stupid stories and drinking that gross watered down shitty drink they give you,in a white plastic cup with flies in it.
