Basic IM #2 (1500m)

Because my last IM set was so popular here is another! :) 

An IM (individual medley) consists of 4 strokes... butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. In that order. 

If you do not know how to do butterfly feel free to substitute that stroke with something else such as freestyle(front crawl).
