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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

What a jerk. These are just 8 to 11 year olds and he's making them do 50 laps that's ridiculous.

If you fail at doing the 50 laps, imagine how ****** the class after you will be! They'll probably have to walk on water.

I know it sucks that your coach is killing you with the extra drills, and it may be unfair, but you're benefiting from being drilled so hard. stay optimistic and be glad you have a coach that pushes you so much!

Wow that sucks. The PE teachers and coaches at my old high school were really fit. The boys in my class challenged our teacher to a pull up competition at the beginning of the year cause they all thought he was just a small man... Nope; he won.

Your coach is kind of a dick. On the very, very dark side: your coach is so inept, those damn nine-year-olds would potentially drown in the middle of an ocean, without a boat or land in sight, should a hurricane happen to hit. What is wrong with our planet? On the not so bright side, but give us points for trying: By silently willing ourselves to *not* kill that coach, we learn self control, kids! *Lots* and *lots* of self control.
