Main Set
4x500 "Catch the Rabbit"
The first swimmer in each lane will swim a moderate 500. The other swimmers in the lane will follow 10 seconds back and try to catch the leader. The idea is to catch the draft. Anything goes when it comes to the chase pack--they can rotate leaders, run a draft train, whatever. If and when the leader is caught, the lane will finish the 500. they may swap lane leaders then.
Take 1 minute rest between 500s, and switch leaders.
