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
this isn't a relay but my granddaughter's team usually has this event at the end of each meet.
oops sorry I hit the post button
anyway, the coach calls it Skins
the top fastest 50 free swimmers (# of swimmers depends on number of lanes you have in your pool) do 50's on 2. The slowest are eliminated each heat.
It is fun and interesting
