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.

I did my 50 today. I was timing myself, so this is probably less than accurate. I think my time was somewhere between 34 and 36. Probably could've been a little faster, but I had the lane right next to the water slide. Hmmm, a lot like open water swimming!
Didn't realize that we could use fins. I'll have to time myself with those on Thursday.
If I had a water slide at my pool, we would be doing the fast forum slide races. It is good streamline practice I hear.
Using fins on a 50 sounds pretty fun. I am pretty sure I would get some serious ribbing if I climbed up on the blocks with fins... but that might just be me :)
