Swimmers sometimes play pranks on each other. Practical jokes. Please share yours.
It comes with the territory, we're a fun loving good natured bunch usually with a decent sense of humour.
Might be throwing ice water on someone in the shower, or throwing someones legs to one side just as they are diving.
Keep in mind, if you begin pranks there could be retaliation & revenge is a dish best served cold.
Share your yours & make sure nobody gets hurt.

Pranks sometimes backfire:
years ago, a swimmers' girl friend made him "special" brownies. they were sitting on the kitchen counter. His obnoxious roommate came home, grabbed the plate not knowing what they were, ran to his room, locked the door & ate them all, laughing all the way. About 15 minutes later, he emerged from his room feeling full & kinda funny for the rest of the day.
Worst prank I can think of was a teammate who got his housemates with ex-lax brownies. He did it at the end of the school year when we weren't in training. They didn't see it coming at all because the perpetrator was basically Forrest Gump. Imagine Forrest playing a horrible prank on you. You can't imagine it, can you? But he did it. They were pretty much out of commission for a week.
