NEXT MEETING:        TBD

* suggestions from Bob White on 13 & O order

Friday:

200 MR

200 Free

100 Breast

100 Fly

400 IM

My thinking is that probably more kids will double in 200 Free & 100 Fly or 400 IM.  100 Breast & 100 Fly is a very rare double so separating 200 Free & 100 Fly might make sense as well as separating 200 Free and 400 IM as much as possible.  Also, most every 100 breaststroker in the meet will probably swim the MR and not necessarily every 200 freestyler will, so having the 200 Free follow the MR will give the breaststrokers more rest.

Sunday:

100 Free

200 Fly

100 Back

200 IM

400 Free Relay

1000 Free

My thinking is most likely double is 100 Free & 100 Back so might as well put 200 Fly in between.  Most every 100 swimmer will be on 400 FR so might as well spread those out as much as possible.  Alternating short (100 Free), long (200 Fly), short (100 Back), long (200 IM), short (100 on 400 FR), long (1000) might benefit the most swimmers.
