The 100 IM is the most fun event on the Masters swimming short course schedule. Takes you back to being 9 years old again.
We should add it to the long course schedule. Who really needs a wall to change strokes? The rule could be that the swimmer must change from fly to back and from *** to free in a transition zone in the middle of the pool. The zone could be markers on the lane lines or the transition must begin when the head reaches a marker at 25m and must end before the feet pass the same marker.
Good idea or impractical?
The Carbondale long course meet does the 100 IM and it is fun. You have to do your transition between the colored sections on the lane lines, and they give you plenty of time to do it. Nadine gave me a handy tip, fly until you are almost to the end of the transition, then flip, *** to the beginning of the transition and then switch to free. Common sense, but most people did not do it, and it gave me a good advantage. Good time.
