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
That might be the fastest, but it would still be my second choice. My first choice would be ***-fly-free-back. The more time underwater in evil the better! And I like having my best/easiest stroke last. Easier to breathe when you need oxygen too.
This is #2 for me, would like *** - fly - back - free. Getting that extra breathing on the back would make for some explosive final lap free. I do agree with *** being first especially since I could mitigate my horribleness with a good start and a good turn while still fresh.
