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
Put slips of paper into a hat with a distance and stroke on each--say three with 50 free, two each with 50 *** & back, one 50 fly, one each with a 100 free, fly, back, ***, IM, etc. Pull out four at random. This is semi-serious in that each leg is a standard stroke and distance, but totally unpredictable.
