There are three relays at the Short Course World Championships - the same 3 relays swum at long course meets:
4 x 100 free relay
4 x 200 free relay
4 x 100 medley relay
Ryan will likely swim in both free relays. He may have an opportunity to swim the backstroke in the medley relay, but I doubt he'll do it. It's the last event of the meet and would be his 8th! Nick Thoman and David Plummer (if he can make it to Dubai after the blizzard in Minneapolis) will likely swim in the relay.
The 4 x 100 free relay takes place on Wednesday, December 15, the first day of the meet. I predict Ryan will swim the first leg and the U.S. will win although the French and Russian teams will be a strong challenge. Nathan Adrian will be the anchor. I believe the other swimmers will be Garrett Weber-Gale and either David Walters or Josh Schneider.
