50 50's on :50?

Thanks for the ideas! We had fun with it, so in addition to brining 50 munchkins to the pool*, we did: WARM UP: 1 X 350, done as 7 50's on 6:50 1 X 250, kick with FINS, done as 5 50's on 4:10 1 x 150, pull, done as 3 50's on 2:30 1 X 50, ALL OUT on :50 MAIN SET: 10 X 50 on :50, Butterfly drill: alternating one-arm fly with flutter kick (note: if you end up just doing freestyle, that's kinda the point.) 5 X 50 on :50, Dolphin dives for 12.5, swim all out for 25, dolphin kicks for 12.5 5 X 50 on :50, ALL OUT, like you were chasing down a bear that stole your donuts. 4 X 50 on :50, SIDESTROKE**, odds on left, evens on right 4 X 50 on :50, IMO, but you'll probably just end up doing them all as backstroke, anyway 1 X 200 on 3:20, broken at the 50's 2 X 50 choice If time remains after 2500: water polo, vertical kicking, diving for quarters, in-water relay starts, open-water turn practice, just float, have fun, swim as hard as you can, or just eat donuts. We did in-water relay starts, over-50 swimmers vs. under-50 swimmers. The unders won the freestyle relay (with the aid of fins) and the overs won the 25 yards of dolphin dives / 25 yards of corkscrew swim relay. *We toyed with the idea of making the birthday celebrant eat a munchkin after each 50, but no one wanted to be on clean-up duty. **SIDESTROKE - the best part of the workout. I believe the time has come for a sidestroke revitalization in the swimming world.
