I would prefer the swim at the end when I'm good and warmed up.
...
A late Winter tri I did had a pool swim and you had to put your 100 yard time for seeding. The guy in front of me put a :47 thinking you had to put your 25 time. He was like a speed bump.
I'd like the swim at the end too. There's a sprint tri series in our area that reverses the order for one of their events that takes place in March/April, mostly so people don't freeze coming out of the pool if they did it "normally." Unfortunately, they send runners off by age, so unless you're in one of the first groups, there's really no way to avoid a massive charlie foxtrot during the swim. Since the swim is a snake swim, to pass the really slow swimmers, I SDK'd underneath them.
