Perhaps there would be interest in a rotating blog--a different swimmer each week posting his or her workouts. This would provide some insight into what various individuals are doing across the country (or around the world for that matter).
I've only done this set once, but it's fun. It requires two people per team. To start the set have one teammate on one end of the pool, the other on the opposite end. The basic idea is to do partner 50s on 30 seconds. Here's how it works:
1. Swimmer A leaves on the top and sprints a 25
2. When swimmer A touches swimmer B starts the second 25. (Swimmer A stops at the wall)
3. Swimmer B touches and waits until the 30 (usually not much of a wait!) then pushes off and sprints back.
4. Swimmer A pushes off when B touches, does a 25, waits till the top, etc...
It works pretty good because you're always sprinting, but on one end of the pool you get a fair amount rest because you wait until your partner does an entire 50 before you go again.
