Stories eh? Hmm.... sooo many.
A guy on my friend's club team (Woodlands in TX I think) was in the finals Jr. Nationals in the 50 fr. (think that was the event). Anyway, he's a black kid & the announcers would announce them anyway they liked. So the kid had them announce himself as "Chocolate Thunder" hehe.
One time I fell asleep during a kick set. Waking up breathing water is not fun.
One time in college friends bet me a $1 (standard gentlemen's bet for us) I wouldn't do a 50 naked during practice -mixed practice. I won me a $1 :D
Then there was guy on my club team who did a 1650 at IUPUI naked. Got up on the block with his suit untied, dove in, off came the suit. The officials were not happy.
In HS during diving one teammate was listening to his head phones very loud. So loud in fact, the divers on the other side of the pool could hear it. So I tap Mike on the arm to get his attention to tell him to turn it down. I tap him, he ignores me. I tap him again - still ignores me. I tap him a third time to which he responds YELLING (as he can't hear his own voice) - as a diver is on the board - "WHAT THE F---!" The entire crowd then is staring at him and we all just start laughing at him.
Then there's the stories outta the pool at parties in college ;)
