Noticed a common thing (also again at the WC). Some (ie. the countries with depth) relay teams use
different swimmers for prelims vs the finals. How did this come about? The team members should be
the same from prelims to finals. Teams with great depth have an unfair advantage. Also, the prelim
times do not accurately rate the current team. For example, the USA mens 4X100 medley at the last
night of the WC, none of the four finalists swam in the prelim. Also, why do the prelim swimmers get
medals? Padding? Kinda cheapens the medal in my opinion.
