I need to know the standard order of events that are swam at a swim meet. I have googled that but have gotten nothing. If anyone can tell me the answers i would appreciate it. Please respond ASAP.
Thanks
What events are traditionally swam at a swim meet?
My age group is like this:
Medley Relay
25 FREE
50 Free
100 Free
200 Free
100 IM
200 IM
25 FLY
50 FLY
100 FLY
25 BACK
50 BACK
100 BACK
25 BREAST
50 BACK
100 BREAST
FREE RELAY
HS SWIM
MEDLEY RELAY
50 FREE
100 FREE
200 FREE
200 FREE RELAY
500 FREE
DIVING
100 FLY
100 BACK
100 BREAST
400 RELAY
However it usually varries from state to state. If you check your local newspaper they have HS swimming results in the paper. It'll show you in the order of events.
Reply:In High School swimming the order of events is as follows:
200 Medly Relay
200 Freestyle
200 Individual Medly
50 Freestyle
Diving
100 Butterfly
100 Freestyle
500 Freestyle
200 Freestyle Relay
100 Backstroke
100 Breaststroke
400 Freestyle Relay
In a club meet there is far more diversity. In Back, breast, and fly the events are from 50 (only viable for young children) to the 200. In Freestyle, there is the 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, and 1650. Along with those there can be various relays including the 200 medly relay, 400 medly relay, 400 freestyle relay, and 200 freestyle relay.
Reply:butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, IM (fly, back, breast, free), and medly (back, breast, fly, free), and relays
25 yards (one lap) if you'rr 10 and under
50 yards (two laps) if you're 11 and older
Reply:The answers here are all correct, except it looks like people have forgotten the 400 IM
Events (For Yards Meets) Include:
Freestyle: 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 1650.
Butterfly/Backstroke/Breastroke: 100, 200
Individual Medley (IM): 200, 400
Relays: 200 Free; 400 Free; 800 Free; 200 Medley; 400 Medley
IM: Fly, Backstroke, Breastroke, Freestyle (divided equally)
Medley: Backstroke, Breaststroke, Fly, Free (divided equally)
- Meters is mostly the same, except substitute 800 Free and 1500 Free for the 1000 and 1650. Internationally, men swim the 1500, and Women swim the 800.
- Little kids also can have 25s and 50s for all strokes.
High School meets are made up of only some of these events--listed by the answer above. Club (USS) Meets tend to have most, if not all, of these events. College will have all at Conference, but the coaches typically agree on a reduced schedule for dual meets.
Reply:Usually the individual short-distance events occur first (such as the 100 or 200 meters either of a specific stroke of of the IM, aka the Individual Medley). Following that are the group events (usually with four people, one for each stroke) in the Relays. And then the long-distance individual events occur.
