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'd do a 400 stroke, especially fly or back. I have done a 1000 IM in a meet once, that was tough, especially once you get to the ***.
I'd like to see a wetsuit, or at least the option to use, race or meet.
The other thing that I'd like to see offered is the option of doing all 4 200s and a 400 IM and see who the overall fastest is. I've seen this for the 4 50s and 100 IM, but what fun is that? I'd call them the drop deads.
