Would anyone want a long jump or pole vault "relay"???  However, in swimming relays, strategy is an important component. Placement of the fastest and slowest swimmers in the order is important. Also, precise timing is required as well - the swimmer completing his/her turn must touch the wall before the following swimmer can leave the starting block.</ref>

*Backstroke races<ref>An inefficient, silly stroke comparable to foot races for hopping or running backwards. It does crudely test the athlete's endurance by requiring him to expend a lot of unnecessary effort.</ref>
