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,

So my former coach had a story about a highschool team member. The guy was doing 50m backstroke. Right after the start, the guy slips under the ropes and is swimming in the lane of another competitor.
The team is on deck yelling for him to correct his position to no avail. At the last minute he slips back under the ropes and into his own lane. And of course, because he finished the race in the lane he started in, he wasn't disqualified. :D
