There are no wrong answers here, as these are opinions. Define what a drill is.
No doubt about it. There are some pretty cool events in the Winter Olympics. If you held a Winter Olympics at your pool, using the real WO events as your model, what would be some of your events?
While we're not very good with "resolutions," do you have any major "goals" in store for 2010?
We think you've had just about enough questions from us this week via the questionnaire (click and answer if you haven't done so yet, and thanks). However...

With Halloween coming up on Saturday, we're looking for some creative swim-related ideas for costumes. Please share. Links to short videos are welcome (as long as they are rated "G" for Ghouls, Ghosts, Gremlins, and General audiences).
With the last few weeks of freestyle technique variation, tell us how open you are to trying new techniques, no matter how "wrong" or "silly" they seem when you first see them.
Even though most swimmers have been training a month now, it's still very early in the season...

We are a group of swimmers who swim really fast, and like to help others learn how to reach their competitive potential in the area of professional swimming.
