Funniest Swimming Stories

I was surfing the web for my swimming class to find a couple of articles on swimming, when I came across an anecdote that was so funny I almost died laughing: I teach group and private swim lessons at our local Y and am constantly amazed and entertained by the comments from the kids. Last year, little Ben, 5 years old, was swimming backstroke, eyes to the ceiling, goggles bigger than his head, blonde hair falling in his face. I'm watching from the side, signaling to kick and streamline. All of a sudden he yells out "Miss Barbara!""What Ben?" I reply, still making kicking motions with my arms. And loudly comes this little voice echoing throughout the pool "I want to eat you like a strawberry!". I thought the lifeguards were going to fall out of their chairs. What could I say? "Keep kicking Ben, just keep kicking!" I didn't use this for my class (it's not copyrighted by the way, and it's not my personal story), but it made me realize that there's got to be a lot more swimming humour out there. (Of course I could mention the time where I smashed my head twice in one lap swimming backstroke. They moved the backstroke flags!) I'm interested to hear more...

    Just this weekend my six year old daughter came to my masters meet with me. My daughter was in her bathing suit since she was able to swim in the shallow side of the pool. Near the end of the meet she went to get change as I was talking to some friends. As I walked towards where our things were I saw her running back towards the locker room with her underwear in her hand. She ran by me, suddenly stopped, and whispered to me, "Mommy I had your underwear." If you can imagine how tiny she is compared to me I just can imagine her expression when she notice that she had mine and not hers.
