For years I have thought that mixed sex relays would be the ideal event to end a competition. Either 4x100 free or medley relay with 2 men and 2 women. Each team could organize the order as they see fit. I'm sure that it would quickly become an extremely popular event.
They had a mixed relay at "The Duel in the Pool" a few years ago.Libby Tricket broke the WR for the 100 free leading off,but FINA wouldn't recognize it since it wasn't part of a sanctioned event.They further justified it saying that since she swam against a man(Phelps) his wake may have given her an unfair advantage.It was really cool anyway.
Mixed Relays are one of my favorite parts of Masters meet.
We had a discussion of what Allan's is referring to about the mixed relay when it happened 5 years ago.
