Thanks to Barbara for throwing down the gauntlet to my noon masters group.  When they saw Barbara's group doing the Head-Up Dolphin drill, they said... WE WANT TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE!

Not being one to ignore requests... here's our little addition to the drill (ball's in your court B) ;)

Main Set (short course yards):
 - 20 x 25 on :30 (5 sets of the following)
  - 1 - head-up dolphin
  - 2 - easy free
  - 3 - streamline dolphin
  - 4 - easy free

 - 200 smooth freestyle with long underwater dolphins off the wall

 - 20 x 25 on :30 (5 sets of the following)
  - 1 - head-up dolphin with the hands out of the water (our little upgrade)
  - 2 - easy free
  - 3 - butterfly
  - 4 - easy free

 - 200 smooth freestyle with long underwater dolphins off the wall

Sorry, Glenn, didn't mean to be a spoiler it's just the next step we go to. Swimmers love it and hate it in equal measure :)
