The swimming event that comprises four different strokes is known as the individual medley. In this event, swimmers compete by performing each of the four competitive strokes—butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle—over designated distances. The individual medley showcases a swimmer's versatility and endurance, as they must master each stroke and transition smoothly between them. Typically, the event is conducted in varying distances, and it is a highlight of competitive swimming events, including the Olympics.
