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.

Rugby - Full of em todayAdmittedly I could just edit the other story, but I hear you like it often....
Am in a ruck and I saw the scrum half - now he's as annoying as they come, scrawny, cocky, needs a slap every now and then which he doesn't get cos he's a teacher's pet.
My captain always told us that if you see someone (opposition) hanging round a ruck or maul, bring 'em in. So I did - I swung my arm/hand out at him to bring him in (serves him right for being out of position and too close) - only I forgot that my fist was actually clenched (whoops) and I was swinging my arm at head height (silly me) and punched him full on in the face.
Forgot about the ref though (same as the other one in my other post) - stood not 10 yards away... Scrum half is on the floor in some pain - I looked innocent, ref looked the other way. Result!
He wasn't quite so cocky after that. Mwahahahaha.
