LCM (50 meters) Note: For our top nations’ aggregate times below, the first column (Season-Best) is the sum of each leg’s best flat-start time during the qualifying period, not factoring relay starts. The second column is a little more predictive, pulling that athlete’s best time or split (that we could find) during the qualifying period. If the athlete’s best is from a flat start, we’ve used that over their fastest relay split. The presumptive leadoff swimmer of each relay is listed first with their flat-start best, followed by three with relay splits unless otherwise noted.
