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.

AwwBack in the Primary School days Sports day was so exciting :) I remember us all being lined up for the 100m sprint in our white t-shirts, black shorts and weird P.E pumps. As soon as the whistle went off, I raced ahead and was looking like a definite winner......but then I stopped, looked back......and waited, for my childhood sweetheart of the time.
I was a regular junior casanova ey. :)
