Interesting article about the 50 free swim-off:

I've been swimming for a long time but I've never been in a swim-off (of course, there really aren't opportunities in masters swimming). I never envied people who had to do it, that's for sure.
I'm hard-pressed to recall a swim-off where the stakes were this high, though...especially involving teammates. Has there ever been a swim-off for an Olympic spot?
