200m Backstroke
200m Breastroke
200m Butterfly
200m Medley
Yes judge the speed and the stamina to get to the goal. But why are we making them do different strokes? This really judges the sport and evolution of man.

Gentleman, the ship is burning, we may not all make it out alive. It was a pleasure to serve for you. Now, the only way we can get out of here alive is to do a partial side stroke for 388 metres, and then we will be to safety.
