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.

Never like school sportsso was actually pleased when I stood barefoot on a bee whilst training for the three-legged race: I got to spend the whole afternoon sitting on a chair in the sunshine while everyone else had to run around like morons.
Including Mark, who was my three-legged partner. I bet he wishes he'd seen that bee first.
