The Medley Relay is a swimming event that consists of a team of four swimmers, each swimming a different stroke. The order of strokes typically follows the sequence of backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. Each swimmer covers a specific distance, usually 100 meters for the first three strokes and 200 meters for the freestyle leg, contributing to the team's overall time.
In competitive swimming, the Medley Relay is often featured in major events like the Olympics and World Championships. Teams are timed, and the fastest team wins. This relay showcases the versatility and skill of swimmers, as each must excel in their assigned stroke.
