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.

i am rubbish at sport.i was just rubbish at sport, my bro and sis excelled but i was a musical froot really.. one time though our school forced us all to try out for the cross country team during pe lessons, and for some strange reason i came 6th, which then meant i got a place. so i was like alright then i will compete at the interschool cross country thing. come the day, i decide that i need a strategy, which was to drink loads of lucozade about ten mins prior to the event. because lucozade gives you ENERGY and makes you run FASTER!
i got a stitch almost straight away and came 250th.
AND the course was twice as long.At least i beat all the chavs from my dads school (one of the worst schools in the country i will have you know - im from hull)
I dont run.
