My team right now is playing a team wide game. We've all been split into teams, and then we have certain challenges each day that the designated team members participate in to earn points for our teams. No idea what happens at the end, but we probably will all get ribbons for participating. And the last few weeks of 2006 we had the Swim of Fame. Our coach made up stars that had workouts that played to the strengths of everybody on the team. Then everybody had a speical star, and as you completed each workout you put a sticker on that star. When you finished all the stars you got a ribbon and bragging rights. (I totally finished them all ;)....one of them was the Brute Squad set if anybody did that mail in event.)
So I was wondering what, or even if, other teams do things to keep the team intrested. Either in the water or out. I know a lot of teams have team dinners every week or so.
As a side note, maybe for all the people who use these forums as their team we can come up with something along the same lines to keep you interested and motivated too. We can start a forum wide swim game! That might be fun.....
Sometimes we eat hot peppers after practice. Oh, that isn't what you meant.
My team would never want to spice it up too much. Way too many aerobic loving people there. Bear traps are fun. You pick a goal time for a 100 (pick your stroke/poison) and go on 3:00. For every second you are under your time goal you get a point for every second over your time goal you take points away. Make a goal of 10, 20, 30, whatever. Make sure it is a goal that will push you, especially after a few 100s but not that you can barely make or make super easily.
