The men's 4 × 100 metre medley relay event at the 1960 Olympic Games took place on August 27 (qualification) and September 1 (final).[1] This swimming event used medley swimming as a relay. Because an Olympic size swimming pool is 50 metres long, each of the four swimmers completed two lengths of the pool, each using a different stroke. The first on each team used the backstroke , the second used the breaststroke , the third used the butterfly stroke , and the final swimmer used freestyle (restricted to not allow any of the first three strokes to be used, though nearly all swimmers use front crawl regardless).
