Hello,
What is the worst swimming-related expereince you have ever had? Was it a coach from Nazi Germany? A near-drowning? A shark encounter? Sharing a lane with a rude swimmer? Share your story.
Thanks,

This was back in high school, many years ago, has more to do w/ diving than swimming though. I needed to practice my somersault off the diving board since I kept either over or under rotating off the diving board. My coach made me stand at the end of the diving board to do a standing flip. I really didn't want to because I didn't think I could. Sure enough after several minutes of standing there contemplating, I did & *SMACK* hit the back of my head on the diving board. Needless to say he never made me do that again. It was scary & hurt like hell but I made it through w/out any problems.
