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.

Hmm, not muchMost of my gym teachers were in shape, but there was always the obligatory fat-arse and smoker. I think I drove the fat-arse to leave cos she spent almost every day screaming at me for reading or wearing boots so I couldn't participate. After awhile, she'd have me turn out all of my pockets and pull my pants legs up so she could see if I was hiding anything. She'd turn about three shades of purple when I'd pull a small Discworld book out of my thigh pants leg.
Then there was the computer teacher who was the head of the boys' team for something, but they had to sack him cos he was molesting a few of them. This could explain why he was so chatty with me outside of school.
Other than that, I got on high honour roll in my senior year cos I had to take two gym classes to make up for the year before, and I got As just for showing up. I spent most of my time sitting out and gossiping with the teachers. They were awesome.
So, yeah. Nothing special about gym class. We didn't even have the obligatory jocks raping the loser footballer like all the other schools. (I'm totally serious.)
