I'm a coach of a middle school girls swimming team. I'm planning on doing a Christmas swim where I pull different activities from a hat, and they do them. The activities are silly things like feet first 50, corkscrew 50, Santa's slay (pull another swimming while they hold onto your fee) stuff like that. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for some fun things kinda like that.

So what exactly is an Aussie relay? Is that where the relay ends when one team laps the other?
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
Yeah, you have two teams, one at each end of the pool. Send them off at the same time, they swim a 50, next person dives in, so on and so forth, and you keep going until one team has caught up to and passed the other.
If you've got a balanced mix of kids, it can take a while, and makes a good sprint threshold set.
