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?
With pentathalon during yard season we use to train a few weeks before the meet. We'd take a week per stroke so we'd have a fly week a back week, a *** week and a free week. The whole workout wouldn't be the stroke but we'd have drills, kicking and sets geared to mastering those strokes. It was a good way for us non-strokers to learn a new stroke. When I started Masters swimming four years ago I only could swim back and freestyle. I could barely make a 25 butterfly. Now now I love the 200 butterfly.
