.3 Timed final relays shall be swum in seeded heats, with not more than two heats (which shall be the fastest heats) conducted during the final sessions meets holding preliminaries and finals, and the balance of heats conducted during the preliminaries..4 Relays conducted as preliminaries and finals shall be seeded and conducted in the same manner as individual events.
