Today, my swimming coach made us swim fifty laps non-stop as punishment for his previous class being unable to swim a drill properly. They're 8-11 year olds who are still learning to swim. I feel like my arms and legs are filled with lead. FML

What an ass. Either way he's the teacher, it's his fault they can't swim.

I remember when my volleyball coach punished us for missing more balls than the 8 year old team. This makes since younger children were doing better than us we deserved. You on the other hand didn't FYL for sure

Is that legal? That's cruel and unusual punishment, isn't it?

That's not illegal and it's not punishment. I mean, doing it until you can't anymore is sort of punishment but my team does bungees all the time. They're not that bad. They're actually pretty fun.

They can be fun but staring at the bottom of the pool floor at hours on end isn't as fun a u think does ur coach out weights on u as u swim??? Like leg weights and wrist weights those things leave a rash

Whose fault is it that they can't swim? Oh right. It's his.

That's because I try to avoid people whom annoy me, but everywhere I go on FML, one of your damn annoying comments is there.

You obviously aren't on a swim team, or that would be normal for you.

OP said coach, not teacher. I think that implies team, right? But then again, he also said "previous class". It's a mystery. I've been on a swimming team before, and nothing like that has ever happened to me.

I think a lot of coaches do things like this. According to them they have done it already and it's our turn now. If they show me that they can do it before us then I would gladly do it without complaining.

Those who can do. Those who cant teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym.

I think you flubbed a little. Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym? Yes?

Oh please, try 200 laps non-stop. That's what my coach made us do because we didn't make an interval. ONE interval.
