200m Backstroke
200m Breastroke
200m Butterfly
200m Medley

I agree and was just talking about this the other day.
It's not like they have the 100m sprint. Then following that up with:
100m backwards run
100m skip
100m crab walk
100m 3 legged race
The point is to get from start to finish in the fastest time possible, is it not? Why have them do it in awkward, slower ways?
