Just got back from the Greensboro meet and it brought back memories from previous Nationals. With so many swimmers attempting to warm-up in a fairly restricted area how do you do it? Are there any good dry land warm-up exercises that can simulate the pool action. I know this will be a problem at the nationals and am looking for some good advice.
almost any actions that wake up the body, get O2 and Blood flowing and that are safe will help but i urge you to carefully slide into a lane and swim and enjoy the draft you get off of other swimmers and if someone needs to pass, they can do so safely if you hug the outside of the lane and they are careful. move and enjoy. and arrive early to get oriented and comfortable with the setting and available water space. enjoy and seize the moments.
