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.

The picture attached below pretty much says it all. This was from back in high school... My coach was awesome but our team was full of pranks. He'd take his shoes off at the beginning of practice and leave them right beside the pool against the wall. One day I took his shoes at the end of practice, put them on a kick board, pushed it to the center of the pool, and ran to get changed.
He asked where his shoes went and then he looked out into the pool and found them. He was furious.
The next meet he made me sit the entire first half of the meet. Then I had to do the 100 fly, 100 free, 500 free, the 1st leg of the 200 free relay, and the 100 backstroke - all back to back events. It was a good payback but wasn't funny when it was happening.
We also convinced this kid on my team that there was a (fictitious) girl named Vera on our team- she was always missing for practice, but she was always around last week. We had him convinced for almost a month.
