Today, a new session started for my swimming squad. I walked down to the pool, tripped over a stray equipment bag, and belly-flopped into the pool in front of everyone, fully clothed. I'm the coach. FML

Should've pulled a Willy Wonks and pretended it was on purpose

Well you didn't drown, use your situation as a prime example on how to keep yourself afloat if you fall into water

I really hate it when people post a completely unrelated comment as a reply to the first comment, just so that it appears at the top.

He needed to follow up with, "If you practice hard enough, you'll be able to do that".

Hopefully you didn't have your phone in you!

I would hope he didn't have his phone IN him.

Ohh the humiliation, brutal! Lol sorry OP but this is funny. I feel bad for you though.

Casually get up and say "and that, my friends, is a perfect example of what not to do"

"And that, my friends, is why you always check your surroundings when approaching a swimming pool!"

Is he gonna drown himself and then say "lesson number 2, try not to drown"

And that my friends, is how to do a belly flop

well to be fair, you're not teaching them how to walk. your swimming abilities as a coach have not yet been compromised

But his drowning abilities have. He got out of such a perilous situation and lived to tell about it!

"And that, everybody, is what not to do. Hope it's helpful to someone."

Act like you did it on purpose and then make them practice their belly flops

I think whoever's equipment bag who was out in the open should be forced to do the belly flop.
