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?
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.
This is actualy offered at the Lower Bucks YMCA (SCY) Pentathlon Masters Swim Meet. You can see last year's results here:
