Imagine you get to arrange four swimmers into a freestyle relay team. They are within ~10% difference when it comes to times.
Would you do the most popular arrangement?
1st leg - 2nd fastest swimmer
2nd leg - 3rd fastest swimmer
3rd leg - slowest swimmer
4th leg - fastest swimmer
...or a different one? Would you consider other factors besides speed such as personality, experience, etc.? Does it make a difference if it is 4x50 or 4x200?
So what order would you put them in?

How I've seen most success if your mixing very fast swimmers with one slow swimmer or just a younger swimmer is:
Second Fastest
Fastest
Third Fastest
Slowest
This gives you such a big lead that for the slowest its easier to hold them off :D
It was a great counter for the usual stack cause the fastest goes against their slowest.
