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?
Of course you always have the people (cough cough Fortress cough) who complain about their lane assignments under this type of seeding system.
I didn't say a peep at LCM Zones! :angel: But sometimes in SCM or SCY, me (5'4") and Wolfy (6'4") aren't very compatible side by side. I don't need to be bounced around that much.
I like Chris' choices. Since SDK is practically the 5th stroke now, an SDK race would be de rigeur in a nonstandard meet. I also like the idea of equipment races or all-one-stroke relays or any order IM.
Why do we never see these events offered?
My next meet, however, we are racing those dastardly 25s that Mike Heather hates. :bliss:
