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?
1) plunge and glide
2)15 M of each event
I certainly don't recommend this one,but my Soph.year in HS our coach was an assistant football coach and he came up with a relay where the lane lines were removed and each team started from the opposite diagonal corner so you swam the first diagonal dodging the other swimmer then on the way back if you were a big guy you tried to grab the other swimmer and drag him back to your side,if you were small(like me) you tried to dodge this humiliating fate.
