IM Order Change up

the order for IM is fl bk br fr but if you could change up the order of the IM there are 24 stroke order combinations to choose from They are: fl bk br fr IM order fl bk fr br fl br bk fr fl br fr bk (i think this is the fastest order) fl fr bk br fl fr br bk bk fl br fr medley order bk fl fr br bk br fl fr (this is probably the slowest order, because you get no flip from fly to free) bk br fr fl (this might be the most painful order) bk fr fl br bk fr br fl br fl bk fr br fl fr bk (tyler thinks this is the fastest order) br bk fl fr br bk fr fl br fr bk fl br fr fl bk fr fl bk br fr fl br bk fr bk br fl fr bk fl br fr br bk fl fr br fl bk If normal stroke rules apply: Which order is the fastest? Why? Which order is the slowest? Why? Which order is most painful? if you moved breastroke to first or second in order would breastrokers have less of an advantage in IMs than they do with the traditional order? a pretty easy work out would be 24 x 100 IM doing each stroke order sequence once More challenging might be 24 x 200 IM doing each stroke order sequence once seriously challenging would be 24 x 400 IM doing each stroke order sequence once

  • I've always thought they should just leave the order up to the competitor. You could choose what you want and wouldn't have to specify the choice beforehand (but if you started with backstroke you could do a dive start and flip over on your back). IM races are often the most fun events to watch anyway due to lead changes but this would make it even better.
