When I swam in high school at Dynamo we did what was called "The National Event Schedule" which was exactly that. Every single event, fast as you could go, on an interval.
I don't remember the intervals, but they then added up all your times on each event for an "overall winner" (for pride). I think I was second to Eric Wunderlich (a 1996 Olympian) only because I was a distance swimmer and could make up so much time in those events.
