What is the "individual medley"?
The individual medley (IM) is a swimming event where a swimmer competes by swimming all four main strokes in a specific order: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. The race starts with the butterfly stroke, followed by backstroke, then breaststroke, and finishes with freestyle. The event can vary in distance, with the most common being 200 meters and 400 meters. The individual medley tests a swimmer’s versatility and endurance, as they need to be skilled in all four strokes to succeed. It is a challenging and exciting race that showcases a swimmer's all-around ability.
