Swimming!
Individual Medley (abbreviated to Medley or IM) is when a swimmmer swims butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle (in that order) in the same race. So 100m medley in a 25m pool would be one length on each stroke. Official medley events incllude 100m (25m on each storke) 200m (50m on each stroke) , and 400m (100m on each stroke)individual medley (200m and 400m olympic events). 600 medley is not an event that officially exists but it would comprise of: 150m butterfly, 150m backstroke, 150m breaststroke and 150m freestly (in that order) continuosly.
A medley event is one that requires the swimmer to swim all four competitive stroke categories in one race. The four stroke categories are butterfly, backstroke, breaskstroke and freestyle. Freestyle is actually not a stroke but, rather, unspecified category allowing the swimmer can choose any stroke s/he wishes. Almost all competitive swimmers swim crawl in the freestyle portion of medley events and also in freestyle individual events due to the fact that crawl is, by far, the fastest stroke. In international competitions there are three to four medley events: 2 individual events and 1 to 2 relay events. The invididual events are the 200 Individual Medley (aka 200IM) and the 400 Individual Medley (aka 400 IM). The relay event is the 400 Medley Relay. In short course meets (aka meets taking place in 25 meter or 25 yard pools), there is also a 200 Medley Relay. However, this event does not appear in long course (50 meter pool) meets such as the Olympic Games. Additionally, there is sometimes a 100 Medley Relays offered for younger swimmers (e.g. 12 and under) in short course local meets. In Individual Medley events, the order of the strokes in (1) butterfly, (2) backstroke, (3) breastroke and (4) freestyle. In Medley Relay events, the order is (1) backstroke), (2) breastroke, (3) butterfly and (4) freestyle. The order is different for relays primarily because backstrokers start their leg of the relay in the water, as opposed to on the blocks. And it is too difficult to have and incoming swimmer touch the wall when a backstroker is waiting in the water. Thus, in Medley Relays, backstrokers go first.
both of the events include the strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breastroke, and freestyle. thought the order of the strokes is different in the individual medley the order of the strokes is: fly, back, breast, free in the medley relay the order of the strokes is: back, breast, fly, free
Swimming A "medley" is an event in competitive swimming in which backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle are swum in equal distances by an individual or as divisions of a relay race.

I don’t think race would affect it as much as the particular age group and the events the shape the perspective of the individual
Rowing events are called regattas. A regatta is also known as a 'race day'. It consists of an entire schedule of individual races between teams.
# a relay race in which each contestant must cover a different distance # a swimming race in which a different stroke must be used for each length of the pool
It is not always, many events are relays with four swimmers. But most events for swimming are individual, as swimming is often described as a personal race against the clock.
