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 had a coach a few years ago (he's no longer with our team, he moved away) who used to sometimes have us do this:
at flags, dive underwater
do a touch turn at the wall, down about where the ledge is (5 feet or so deep)
push down to the bottom (pool is about 8 feet deep), and push off the bottom
by the time we got back to the surface, we were well past the flags.
Not sure if there is a name for that or not...but it was tons of energy to do even one.
