The swimmers decide when it is over. Well, sort of.

? x 500 Free @ 6:00 (Interval should be 1:00 to 1:30 from swimmer’s best time)

Lifetime best time = Get out and go home!
1 – 10 sec off of lifetime best time = 5 points
11 – 20 sec off of lifetime best time = 3 points
21 – 30 sec off of lifetime best tiem = 2 points
31 – 40 sec off of lifetime best time = 1 points
41 – 60 sec off of lifetime best time = 0 points
61 seconds or more off of lifetime best time = -1 point

Each swimmer keeps going until he or she achieves 30 points or goes a lifetime best time. Of course, if a swimmer is really up against a wall on the set, deals can be made with the coach for extra points (i.e. negative splitting by a certain amount, dolphin kicking further off the wall consistently, etc.)
