We've all had them, your suit rips during a start, you accidentally sneeze on Michael Phelps, you burp or fart on the starting blocks, etc. (none of those happened to me...knock on wood).
What's your most embarassing swimming moment? (includes, meets, practice, anything swimming related)
Rtodd's 200 reminded me of a situation that occured in December at the SCM zone championships in Long Beach (where Michael Phelps et. al. are swimming this weekend).
I was swimming on an 800 free relay, the last event of a three day meet. Our team was way behind. I dove in to swim the anchor leg and at what turned out to be the 150 mark I wasn't sure what lap I was on. At about the flags I lifted my head to see if the timers were near the edge of the pool. They were not, so I swam another 50.:snore:
