What is the grossest/most interesting/most unusual thing you have seen in the pool while practicing? For example, I counted six dead roaches floating in the gutter at the end of lane five today...

When I was an age-grouper, I remember somebody had dropped a part of a chocolate doughnut in the baby pool (which was used as the "bullpen" for meets), and it really looked as much like poop as a Baby Ruth.
A few months ago I had just gotten into my local pool's lap swim, had not even completed my first lap, when the guards cleared the pool because someone vomited over in the shallow area (by the zero-depth entry). I have never had less sympathy for a sick person. I'm kind of ashamed of how irritated I was. But that pool has such limited hours, and so do I, and it was such a struggle just for me to get there, that all I could think about was my lost workout.
