What nonstandard event would you like to swim?

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've been to 3 meets in the last year that do this. Heck, our recent LCM zone championship did 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 believe that it is a recommendation that the 1st & 2nd fastest in any age group/gender can request not to have a wall lane.
