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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to go take swimming lessons because my mom has a fear I'll drown and I'm totally afraid of swimming anyway and never get anywhere near water. My instructor? A high school classmate of mine. My fellow swimming classmates? 5 and 6 year old kids. FML
Today, my swim coach had me swim a 400 meter freestyle. Feeling a little sick near the end, I lifted my head to breathe, then burped, and threw up violently all in the pool. All my team mates screamed horrified running out of the pool, and now they have to drain it. I was told not to come back. FML
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
Today, I was teaching swim lessons. I got felt up by a 6 year-old boy. Three times. FML
Today, I got chewed out by a parent for putting her kid underwater. I teach swim lessons. FML
Today, I decided to get back in shape so I went swimming. I only managed 10 lengths and was completely out of breath. I was so embarrassed that when a lifeguard asked me if I was OK, I made up a story about a leg injury as a reason to leave only 15 minutes after I got in. FML
Today, while teaching swimming to a bunch of five year-olds, one particularly bratty girl decided she didn't want to swim and led the entire class to strike, leaving the pool empty, and me without a job. Apparently I was teaching the next world tyrant to swim. FML
Today, my entire gym class had to run the 1600 with our coach calling out finishing times. My finishing time was reported as "3 days short of a year." FML
Today, I swam in a race against all of the girls in the midwest in the hardest, longest, most grueling race you can swim. I won. Happy but so tired I could barely move, I looked up to see my time. I had been disqualified. For flinching. Before the race started. FML
Today, my dad taught me how to swim. I had to keep doing a lot of strange movements to keep my body floating. While doing that, two 8-year-old girls came and asked me if i needed help getting out of the water. I'm a 20 year old guy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

It's good for you. Suck it up. You bust ass at practice so games or meets are a pice of cake. If you want to be the best you need to train better then the best. If you don't want to be the best,you shouldn't be there.

I agree that 50 laps can do good in the long run, but it's inappropriate to punish his class for something they didn't have anything to do with, I can image you being his coach.

I played pro baseball for a reason. When I was growing up,we didn't get trophies for participating like now days. You will look back at life and realize that the teachers that were hard on you were the best ones. Besides,HE'S THE DAMN TEACHER! HE DONT NEED A RESON!!

I do 50 laps for warmup, try being an actual swimmer before you complain about 50 laps.

Yes...it's bull. "it's not that hard," the coach says, "keep pushing" the coach said, "Get in shape" they said. Ugh it's really annoying

I wonder if it is because he got into trouble or something, and decided to take it out on your team. I have never swam 50 laps non-stop before, but I have swam 25 laps non-stop before when I was still in elementary school.. & it was not a regular swimming pool, but the OLYMPIC sized pools! What's more is that it was before I was part of competitive swimming, so it was a coach at a community centre (glad that I quit those and went with competitive swimming!). It is a shame that your swimming coach acts like a 5 year old spoiled brat.

I'm afraid here in Texas, we would have collectively told the coach to go F himself.

I must agree with this. We most definitely would.
