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.

Our school swimming pool
was also used by the nearby primary school. The day before our school swimming races, a stinky wee 5year old boy, had a nice wee poop in our pool during their lesson.
The swimming races were then called off as noone really wanted to race with a floater involved.
Although ofcourse they cleaned out the pool carefully after a few days, the majority of us girls seemed to have irregular periods that occured every second week that our swimming lesson was due.
