depends on who it is and the event.. a lot easier to do in track since you can clearly see people better throughout and down the final 100
but swimming you can see people just not as easily.. you can look but itāll throw body positioning off.. so either you just check whatever side youāre breathing on in freestyle or just push off on your side on turns and try to check as much as you can during your underwater phase
but usually youāre just kinda building throughout without pushing it pushing it.. with relays youāre making sure all starts are super safe, so youāll see slower reaction times in the prelims from the top teams.. but for thone relays, theyre saving their top guys and the ones in the morning are trying earn 1 or 2 of the spots in the final team
but I guess itās better to not tire out the big stars
