School Sports Day
At 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.

Scary teachers
Not sports day exactly but PE related. Headmaster's wife, scary old geezer bird type would insist on "checking" we didn't do that wearing underwear under the towel into the showers thing.
One day a rather brave girl in our class, happened to now be talling than the teacher, had enough and told her to fuck off. Cheers and applauds ensued and we never asked to show under our towels again.
Oh and I just remembered another PE teacher whose bollocks fell out his shorts during star jumps..nice!
