scheduling of OVs

Is there any “strategy” or advantage to the order a student athlete schedules their OVs on the calendar? ie, going first visit to top pick and going to least favorite last? vice versa? Or maybe going to first where the athlete might be most in demand and most likely to get a generous offer that they would be willing to keep on the table while athlete visits other schools?

Do most D1 schools make an offer (if they are going to) at the OV or can that vary? If no offer comes at the OV is it usually in a followup phone call after they have had time to discuss how the OV went and how well the athlete fit with the team?
(this is for swim in case it makes a difference)

Thanks!
