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.

The infamous...We were in the last year of high school thus about to go into the college and finish PE. Unfortunately, there was a shortage of PE staff for the girls. (The last had suspended a girl for accidentally knocking her face so we were glad to see the back of her). But then it turned out we had... !
Usually seen bright red and screaming at the boy's teams. Getting into moods and claiming he was going to retire. And working people out in sleet and snow.
The entire last year was spent with a few softballs and hockey sticks in a gym. We were basically knocking each others heads off. And once, three of us just couldn't be bothered and sat down. He came over, we thought 'Ah, we're for it!' and he said 'What are you doing?' My friend popped out with 'We couldn't be bothered, sir.'
'Ah ok.'
And off he went.
Legend.
