I was watching the Jason Lezak olympic swim again and noticed that he got 46 sec flat in his swim. Now the WR for the 100M was set later by Alain Bernard at 46.94. Are relay times normally better and if so, why? Thanks.

Yes, flying start. Meaning that the swimmer coming off the block can be all the way off the block except for the tips of his toes when their relay mate touches. Its like a running start, aka flying start.
