I am planning a meet and I would like to include a couple of "fun" relays. I need some ideas. Minnesota Masters Swimming does a "Reindeer Relays" meet each December and I found descriptions of a few of their races (see below). Does anyone else have some suggestions for fun relays? (Note that this meet will be held in a public high school, so the relays cannot include alcohol...)
--Tarzan relay - each swimmer must swim with his head out of the water
--Ballet leg relay - each swimmer must do backstroke with 1 leg out of the water, pointed in the air
--Reindeer relay - each swimmer dog paddles while wearing antlers (which are passed like a baton from one swimmer to the next)
--All-Fly relay
--Kicking relay
Relays:
2 man (8 people total) relays. One person pulls, the other holds the lead person's feet and kicks. They switch at the turn. Works best as a 200 relay.
Sculling relay
Underwater relay - team is penalized 5 seconds for each breath a member takes
T-shirt relay - must wear a t-shirt while swimming and exchange shirt.
Corkscrew relay - swim alternating one stroke free, one stroke back (rotating from stomach to back).
Crescendo relay - 1st swimmer does a 50, 2nd 100, 3rd 150, 4th 200.
I.M. relay - each swimmer does a 25, 50, or 100 IM
