Men's 400m free relay

The prelims for the 400m free relay are tonight in the U.S. I can't wait to find out who will be swimming for the U.S. My predictions for the lineups are:

prelims

Garrett Weber Gale

David Walters

Scot Robison

Jason Lesak

finals

Michael Phelps

Ryan Lochte

Jason Lesak

Nathan Adrian

I think Lesak will swim the prelims because his only individual event is the 100 free and he has less swims overall than Lochte, Phelps and Adrian. Also he's obviously a great relay swimmer who will ensure a great finish for the U.S.

It is possible that Adrian may swim in the prelims, just to ensure a good time and a good lane, but all of the U.S. swimmers are so fast I don't think it will be necessary.

Phelps and Lochte have too many other swims throughout the meet for their 7 and 6 events respectfully. I do not believe they will be asked to swim the relay prelim.

If Weber Gale, Walters or Robison has a faster swim than Lesak in the prelims, it is possible he would be replaced in the finals.

Those are my guesses. We'll find out in a few hours.
