In a medley relay, teams consist of four swimmers, each swimming a different stroke in a specific order: the first swimmer performs the backstroke, the second swimmer swims the breaststroke, the third swimmer does the butterfly, and the final swimmer competes in the freestyle. This sequence allows for a diverse showcase of swimming techniques and skills. The total distance for the relay typically adds up to 400 meters in competitions like the Olympics.

It is a relay (that consists of 4 swimmers who each swim the same distance) that is made up of only freestyle. Example: 200 Free Relay (each swimmer swims a 50 free) 400 Free Relay (100 free each) 800 Free Relay (200 free each)
its called a meet from 2 hrs to 4 days sometimes even longer depending on the amount of teams and swimmers there
A swim team is a group of competitive swimmers that swim ___ laps depending on the age of the swimmer. They have different heats if there are a lot of swimmers in the same event. 4 strokes are swam, Freestyle, Backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. There are also relays with 4 swimmers, and a IM (individual medley) which is all 4 strokes in one race. If you want to see a very competitive level of kid swimming then search USA swimming.
In a 5-team track meet, relay teams are typically scored based on their finishing positions. Commonly, the scoring system awards points such as 5 points for 1st place, 3 points for 2nd place, 2 points for 3rd place, and 1 point for 4th place, with no points awarded for 5th place. The total points from all relay events are then summed to determine the overall ranking for the teams in the meet. This system encourages teams to perform well in multiple relay events to accumulate points.
