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)

O.k. guys.....this doesn't exactly fit this thread topic because its not an embarressing swimming moment per-se....but it is most embarressing and it just happened to me about an hour ago. I teach a pre-calculus class at 12:00 today and an elementary algebra class at 10:00....the pre-calc class is in room 118, the elem alg class is further down the hall in room 102....so I'm heading to my elem alg class at 10:00 and when I pass room 118 my brain gets crossed and I enter room 118 (instead of room 102) and Now I'm in pre-calc mode....So I start my precalc lecture for the day and ask for questions over the hw assignment I gave the other day...etc...and about 5 minutes or so into the class someone raises his hand and says....excuse me but are you substituting for Mr. Dixon today? I look out over the crowd of students and then realize that I don't recognize any of them....Ah I answer....I guess Mr. Dixon is a little late today and I'm sure he will be here any minute...I then apologize for entering the wrong class....put my head down and crawl for the door.....So I get to my elem alg class late and procede as usual.....Talk about an example of a Southwest Airlines comercial where the final slogan is "Want to get away"....LOL!! OMG I have never been so embarressed in my life...LOL!! At least I don't have to face those students in Mr. Dixon'e Pre-Calcl class ever again...LOL!! (that is unless I see one or more of them down the road in a future semester that is....)
