Anyone want to share some stories regarding humor in their swimming or past experiences....like meets....practice...HS Swimming, college....age group....?
A younger dude the other day where I work out walked out of the locker room to the pool deck (about 30 yards) buck *** naked. Had his suit in his hands. He's having trouble living that one down.
Taking my counseling like a man...

Care to rephrase that, Tom?
Flogged, but still standing...
I was awful proud of myself on using "pontifications" on the secularism thread. However, I must not be as good at shameless self promotion as other(s).
I remember back when everyone starting wearing two and three suits at one time. One of my team mates had failed to remember that he only had one suit on and proceeded to take the one suit off on deck, thinking he had two. It took him about 30 seconds to realize that he was flashing everyone and then it took him about a minute ( I am sure longer in his mind) to get his suit back on. He didn't live that one down for a long time.

"One, Two ,Three,..."etc. I proceeded to let out a nice perky fart on each lunge forward.
I could see that one coming a mile away. Good one!
How come most of these stories involve nudity? :D
Been there--Done that!
Years ago when I started back swimming (USMS in Greensboro, NC) I was bleary eyed from being up all night jump-seating back from the West Coast, and I figured I would go home to get an hours sleep, then get up to go workout…. I took my sweats off, had my goggles in my hand and my big beach towel over my shoulder and I just walked out of the locker room buck naked onto deck…One of the neatest Old Ladies (in her 80’s) you would ever want to meet was standing there with a grin on her face…She then pops off a great one liner…”Looks like you came ready for action today Tom.” It took a few seconds for me to get hold of what was happening…and when I did…I was really embarrassed…Trust me, I took a great deal of kidding over that one.

I still laugh at myself for getting DQed on a 200Y swim, for miscounting and not completing the distance.
I think I'm too dependent on computers and calculators by now!
And, darn, where was I when all this fun stuff was happening.
The best I get is someones old worn out suit, coming close to transparent. (pout pout) ;)
