I was just put in charge of the rowdiest group of boys I have ever seen. They were so bad I barely got them to do 300 yards in the first practice. I wasn't even able to get their names or any times.
They're middle school level, and while I'd love to keep them, I'm not going to put up with 40 boys who are like that. I want to cut that number to about 30.
I could do a 50 and cut by time, but I was thinking of having them swim a 500, and anyone who touched the floor, stopped to talk, or doesn't finish would be out, especially during the first part of the drill. Do you think that is fair?

I have the same kind of situation in my swim team. My coach puts them each individually in lanes with the guys and girls they don't like and can't mess around with. And if any of them touch the bottom during practice, the have to swim a timed 200 fly.
Make sure the consequent is something they won't like!
