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.

NetballOk, my crap stories continue - perhaps I'm traumatised.......
We used to play mixed rounders, but that's another obscenely crap story - so this time we were playing mixed netball. I agreed, I mean how hard can it be?
Very hard. And 14-16 year old girls are the most evil, viscious, angry, dangerous and bitchy people on a netball court/pitch/ground/hell-pit. There was scratching, biting, slapping and punching - we lads were not just borderline terrified, we actually feared for our lives. After the game, the evil ones' horns seemed to retract and they were nice again - we lads were still terrified as to what ***might*** happen again so we never opted to play again.
Got 'em back playing mixed football - I had a trademark crunch slide tackle that my mates feared - double footed with (occasionally)sharpened (allegedly) studs - ref never spotted the second foot and it was speed trapped at 353mph with a proper heat haze. Did some proper damage that day :-)
Length? Frequency? Yeh - that's me baby !!
