I saw a “Twelve Sets of Christmas” and modified it for our Christmas Eve masters practice. Seems like it was well received and I did hear a couple people sing it, haha. The past couple years I’ve done a Christmas Tree thing, but it was time for a change.
Only modifications we made were to have some bonus 25’s to end up back at the correct side of the pool occasionally. The odd distances worked sometimes, but not all – something to adjust for next year.
Here is our set:

Eleven lengths No Stopping
Ten Strokes of Freestyle
Nine Flipper 50’s
Eight Breaths a Breathing

I took a selfie with my light-up Christmas Hat and a light-up Christmas necklace. Only problem was that I was concentrating too much on the selfie 😂
