We typically do have "practice" on New Year's Day. It's later than normal and typically fairly well attended. Of course, that's because it's a shortened practice (more like a longer meet warm-up) and then we have a Men vs. Women meet. All of the 200 yard or less events are placed into a hat. As each event is drawn, each gender selects three people to swim (with a maximum of 3 events per person, so everyone has a chance to swim regardless of ability). Of course, we also thrown in events like the Waterlogged Sweatshirt relay (with upwards of 15 swimmers per side - or however many of each gender show up at the pool).
It's a fun, relaxed way to start the New Year - and, we finish with a pitch-in brunch. :chug:
