The first ever Mystery IM events at the TYR Pro Swim Series were claimed by Madisyn Cox and Carson Foster at the Pro Swim Series in Austin. Cox won her race at 2:16.12 and Foster won the men’s race at 2:03.18. Cox finished her race with backstroke as she had freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly and back. Cox finished ahead of Alicia Wilson (2:16.81) and Kathleen Golding (2:18.83).

Swimmers would draw their lane assignment that had the designated stroke order written on the board behind their block. Most swimmers had different stroke orders so the lead changed multiple times throughout each race.

TYR over-reached with the Mystery I.M. It is an eye-roll event. What is next? Dog paddle 100s? Please, the meets don’t need silly events. The 50s are great. Leave the rest alone.

Michael Farmer, pretty cool idea

I like it because it changes the strategies, and makes demands that swimmers be better at each stroke. Also, changes up the routine.

I think this event would be great for younger swimmers but for elite swimmers I think it is a bit stupid.
