4 x 50 “cat and mouse”
-think of a mountain stage in the Tour de France, 3 riders are way out in front and are on the steepest part of the climb, they have almost stopped riding and are waiting for someone to make a move
-ideally there are at least 4 swimmers, one of you is “mouse,” the rest of you are “cats”
-mouse sets the pace for the 50; swim slow so that everyone can stay in a line
-cats are not allowed to be ahead of mouse (until mouse begins sprinting)
-at some point during the 50 mouse sprints for home
-when mouse begins sprinting cats sprint too; it’s a race for home!
