Having short club meet this weekend and swimming only 2 50m events. (fr and br).
I've always used to warm up before any events but I heard many times folks telling that there's no need to warm up for 50 and some even told it's not recommended. The question is addressed mainly to sprinters: What do you think? Do you warm up before 50 events? If you do warm up for 50s, could you pls type some examples?
Depends. I usually swim 50s just for "fun". Often they are right after a longer event. If so, I don't warm up because I'v warmed down from the previous event. If I'm dry and haven't been in for a while, then yes, I will warm up.
