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.

Sports day fun..I have some very happy memories of my School spoorts days..
Not that I was good at (or even liked) sports. It was just that my form master was a PE teacher, and use to get his form pupils to help out with setting up the sports days.
Cue many summer days with me standing round looking busy, talking to some of my friends, while other friends were stuck inside in hot classrooms studying history and geography.
