I thought I'd begin a thread where people can share their
Swimming Prank Stories.
Sometimes swimmers start pulling pranks on each other, guess that's because swimmers tend to be playful, fun loving, reckless, ...
I'm sure a few of us have some wonderful stories to share about swimming pranks as either the puller, victim, observer or story reteller.
This is your place to share
you can change the names to protect the guilty
they can be as simple as
waiting for a lane mate to dive in,
then right after they jump,
you grab their ankles and throw them to the side which messes up their dive
some stories are a series, of
prank 1
revenge prank 1
retalliation prank 2 ...
they can be in or out of the pool
I need a laugh, I look forward to reading yours.

At travel meets, the champeroning parents used to put masking tape on the doors of the hotel rooms so they would know if someone snuck out after curfew. So, in response, we used to pack a pencil and a role of masking tape, sneak out anyway and put new tape back in place before they discovered our absence.
I do remember some sneaking out of practice to go to the "bathroom," panty raiding everyone's backpacks in the locker room and forcing everyone to go home commando. There was always a fair bit of suit switching, water bottle altering and shaving cream in the shampoo episodes at practices and meets. I recall people attending a practice having dined on those ever-so-"special" brownies. There was also the after hours nighttime-jumping-the-fence-skinny-dipping that used to take place in the jaegmeister's pool in Roch.
And the swim cap prank Ivor referred to seems to be a common amusement of our summer swim league kids.
I haven't participated in masters pranks yet. But the Geek's wife has given me inspiration. I did attend one meet with the wrong fastskin. My daughter had put hers in my bag instead of mine. She said it was "by accident."
