Any suggestions out there for an interesting format for a local SCY meet? We have seen a pentathlon, either all 50's and a 100 IM or all 100's and a 200 IM. There are long distance meets etc. What is your fantasy meet? Corkscrew relay? All breastroke 50 - 1000? Anything but free?
Here is Southern California we have an annual swim meet called the CalTech Pentathlon Short Course Yards Meet. Basically everyone swims a 50 of each stroke for time and then the 100 IM. At the end they have an overall winner based on times/places or something like that.
Our college team had a pentathlon every October where it was a 50 of everything and a 200IM at the end. It was fun, even though my backstroke starts sucked (some things never change...). At the end, the Haucker would post the results on the starting end of the pool. A little extra motivation for some ;-) Not surprisingly, our team was VERY strong in the IM events.
Minnesota Masters has a postal pentathlon that I am going to encourage my LMSC to participate in. For IMers, this is pure joy...
