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.

We were in the High School pool office and found the starter's pistol. So, of course, we loaded it and had one of the swimmers go flying out the door screaming. Then, I jumped out and popped a couple of shots at him. (Yes, this was before school shootings became the norm). The best part was one of the football linemen was sitting on the floor leaning up against the lockers (half asleep) with his girlfriend right next to him. He still comments on how scared he was when that happened (which was over 20 years ago).
That is hillarious!! If you did that now, you would have been kicked out of school for life and probably taken to jail!
Dare I tell ones I have pulled or better still ones that others have pulled. Like giving Exlax to a foreign swimmer (Yugoslavian gave a Dutch swimmer the Exlax before a race) and telling him it was a chocolate bar.
Vaseline from under the arm pit of a Argentinian smeered all over the face of a Danish swimmer at the start of a race. Googles would not seal after that.
Teenage prank. . .
I was a new swimmer on the senior I team at a Junior Nationals travel meet.
I only knew a couple of swimmers on the team and was hoping to become friends with some of these very fast, talented swimmers. To top it off,
I had a secret crush on a couple of the older boys. We were
at the hotel room outside and I was greated by my secret crush
who came up behind me and gave me the wedgie of all
wedgies. (He pulled up my running shorts all the way so it HURT like
He** and he screamed "WEDGIE!"). My butt cheeks were hanging out in the middle of the hotel parking lot for EVERYONE to see. As a 15 year old girl I was MORTIFIED!!! It's sort of funny now. :rofl:
