I would like to propose the First Annual Forum 50.
The idea originated here: Eat or not before swimming in Early Morning? - Page 4 - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums
Here are the rules:
Swim an all out 50 for time
Post your time here
That's it. Swim an off 50, swim your best, swim a 50 IM, who cares. It is like a postal swim, except not official for anything, and takes a lot less time.
It's only a 50!
The next time I have access to starting blocks is Friday, so I will do my swim Friday or Monday.
If you got'em, use 'em. (Blocks)
Good luck.

Really guys and girls it was just a silly reason to do an all out effort that was short enough to fit into anyone's current swimming schedule.
It is not about ego, there is no registry of times, there is nothing wrong with swimming an AFAP 50 feet instead of 50M and there is nothing wrong with keeping your times to yourself.
It is just an excuse to swim fast for those who rarely do so.
