I'm pretty sure that IM order is fly, back, ***, free, but it's been so long since I've paid attention I'm not positive that's correct. Why does it seem that a lot of workouts have sets with reverse IM order? I mean does practicing in reverse order make you stronger or have more endurance?

what is im?
Individual Medley. (Or where I live, Illinois Masters. :D) The order is correct: fly, back, ***, free.
If you are swimming on a medley relay, then each person does a different stroke, in this order: back, ***, fly, free.
Although there are IM relays (each person does an IM), if you read it in a newspaper, they almost certainly mean a medley relay. :cool:
