Many swimmers I have talked to over the years have said that they would like to race some nonstandard event. Frequently mentioned examples are: a 75 butterfly, a 3-stroke IM, a 25 SDK, or a distance stroke event. Suppose you could enter some nonstandard events at a SCY meet, what would you pick? Perhaps a 2x400 breaststroke family relay? (Count me out on that one, but it does sound cool.) I thought about posting a poll, but it would be difficult to list all of the possibilities and I might miss some good idea, so I'm just inviting free-form response. Second question: would you travel to Philadelphia to swim it?

I would like to see a relay where all four members swim at the same time. Your team is done when the last person touches the wall. So for example, the race could be 500 yards. Strategy, drafting, and team unity would be key.
I of course would want to be the one who drafts for the first 450 yards.
In an 8 lane pool, you would have 32 people in the water at the same time. Awesome.
