For a very scary Halloween workout you will need:
1 small pumpkin for every 4 or 5 swimmers
12+ small apples
1 oversized T-shirt for every 4 or 5 swimmers
Optional: Glow sticks or glow necklaces for the Visit to the Underworld

8 X 25 freestyle on :35
Odds: No breathing for the first 6 strokes
Evens: No breathing from flags to finish
PUMPKIN-PASS/IM SWIM: 200
Divide all swimmers into 2 teams. Team #1 does pumpkin pass while Team #2 does a 50 Fly. When all members of Team #2 finish their 50 Fly, they do pumpkin pass while Team #1 swims a 50 Fly. Repeat until both teams have done 1 X 50 in each stroke.
STANDARD SET: ???
4 swims on 1:30. Your choice of distance, stroke (or kick), and equipment. Just make the sendoff.
SCULL & BONES: 150

MUMMY RELAY: 50
Divide into 2 or more teams.
Each swimmer wears a T-shirt but you can’t put your arms through the sleeves, i.e., keep them at your sides. Each team member kicks a 50.

VISIT TO THE UNDERWORLD: 100
