https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/2015/practice-challenge-gamesI just got back from the holiday practice with the age groupers and rather than crank out the 7.000 yards during practice, we did something fun but challenging. We did a mini workout first of about 2,500 yards then after that we played golf.

Our coach has a coveted T-shirt signed by Michael Phelps. At the end of practice, we predict our time on any given event. If we swim the exact time within a one-hundreth of a second, we win the shirt. No one has won yet but we have a lot of fun trying! I came within .01 once! :D<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/10846?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 31 Dec 2003 10:22:15 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:c5a81cfe-81b5-4277-adf0-6108d6f01554Former MemberI saw an event at a recent meet that looked like fun. It was a &#39;Skins&#39; event. This is the way it worked. All swims, start from block, 50&#39;s @ 2:00 Heat 1: Swimmers in all eight lanes, two slowest eliminated Heat 2: Swimmers in lanes 2 thru 7, two slowest eliminated Heat 3: Swimmers in lanes 3 thru 6, slowest swimmer eliminated Heat 4: Swimmers in lanes 3 thru 5, slowest swimmer eliminated Heat 5: Top two fastest swimmers lanes 4 and 5 go head to head It was really interesting to see the strategies the swimmers used to rest, etc. within the 2 minute interval.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
