Individual Medley- An individual swimming event where swimmers swim an equal distance of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle in that order. The freestyle leg of the Individual Medley may be any stroke except for butterfly, backstroke, or breaststroke, but is typically the front crawl. Typical distances for this event is 100, 200, or 400 yards/meters, depending on the age, level, and type of competition. This would mean 25, 50, and 100 yards/meters of each stroke, respectively.
