[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the difference between time trials and races. Wouldn’t time trials take just as long as races? How would that save time? I legitimately don’t understand this, not trying to sound snarky, but hoping to understand the point of a time trial vs. a race.[/quote] A "time trial" is a bunch of heats where each swimmer can swim whatever they want. During a given heat, you might have mixed genders and 3+ different strokes/distances being swum. They try to group them so each swimmer is about the same time. So you might see 100 Fly, 100 Free, and 100 Back all in the same heat, but you won't see 50 Free and 500 Free in the same heat.[/quote]
