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.

My school sportsdayThis story is not so much about the day itself, but about the last 25 years of my life - You see i used to have a recurring dream about being on my primary school field on sports day - but oddly just sitting on the spectators steps - anyway - years have past and i managed to scare myself in Greece when i climbed to the top of a huge castle and looked down a crevis which seemed a mile deep - it shit the life out of me - Since that day the dream i have is me falling down the middle of those sports dayt steps and never being able to get out again ! - hence now i cant go near stairs that you can see through ! shit story huh - i'll get my coat
