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.

HockeyI'm not normaly a violent person but.....
Part way through High School I suddenly found I was fairly good at hockey, normaly being a total duffer at any sport I felt rightously big headed that maybe now was my time to join the school hockey team ready for the little sports day match they had each year.
Only thats where things went horribley wrong.
On the very first practice we were forced by the rather too close for comfort male P.E teacher to have a short game on a field that looked like it hadnt been mowed for a good few years. All went well and I was beginning to enjoy myself when the year bully, a rather big girl with hideous train track braces, decides she is going to foul me. Her wooden hockey stick meets mine, the resulting momentum causing my stick to slip all the way up over her knuckles and finnaly squarely meeting with her mouth braces and all.
As her lip blossomed into a beautiful shade of purple, I made a sharp exit.
Needly to say she never bullied me again.......... nor played hockey.
