Medley Relay Stroke Order vs IM Stroke Order
MEDLEY RELAY
Four swimmers participate, each of whom swims a different stroke.
The first swimmer swims Backstroke (BA)
The second Breaststroke (BR),
The third Butterfly (FL),
The fourth Freestyle (FR).
An easy way to remember this is: BA, BR, FL, FR are in alphabetical order.
INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY
100 IM (individual medley) is an event in which ONE swimmer swims all four strokes in one race:
25 yards of butterfly,
25 yards of backstroke,
25 yards of breaststroke and
25 yards of freestyle,
in this order (note that the IM order is different from the medley relay order).
