There can be some cutting done in the 50-100-200-400 meters part as well..

Only 50. 100-200-400 are way too prestigious. Plus, timewise 50-100-200-400 in swimming is less similar than 100-200-400-800 in athletics... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlFHg 330 Posted April 5, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I would check if there is any mad man/woman willing to take part to a 800 medley :D however, I have an idea for (mixed) relay, that is making every swimmer swim a 200 medley. This could give sense to a mixed relay, otherwise it really has no sense even for me that I like some mixed events. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jur 509 Posted April 5, 2019 #18 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Drop 800 and made a 3km time trial in open waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szy123 79 Posted April 5, 2019 #19 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Let's make that an all swimming triathlon. You start doing 200 m medley in the pool, then you run a few metres and jump into the lake, where you're going for 3 km and after this part you return to the pool but this time you're doing 400 medley in fins. We could make a mixed relay out of it too. I am unashamed, at getting nothing done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,156 Posted April 5, 2019 #20 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Being a little more serious, the only swimming event I would currently like seeing added to the Olympics is the mixed open water swimming relay (4x2.5km). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
