Perpendicular to the lanes in the pool, place four lane ropes to act as hurdles. Freestylers must go over them or be disqualified.

I swim. This would liven the sport up.

       Could you use trained sharks, or maybe seals?

       Add theremin hoops, that would be fun.

       How about electrified hoops/hurdles.. no that's going too far.   

       But i like the idea nonetheless. +

       <announcer voice>: And that terrible unending screeching means that Thomas, the swimmer from Denmark, has gotten himself hung up. Well, as long as the other swimmers keep their earplugs in, it shouldn't cause too much vomiting.   

       Wait, there goes Xian's breakfast! That'll be a 10-second penalty...</announcer> [+]

       100 million hurdles. Now *that's* an event!

       I'd watch that, JB. They should be really close together so that (a) the hurdling is more akin to repeated CB Fry Mantlepiece Leaps and (b) if even one of said hurdles is knocked over, the a city-wide, filmed-from-helicopters athletics equivalent of Domino Rally occurs. Brilliant.
