Hi all!
So I've noticed during my workouts, I tend to blast through my warmup laps, which makes for sore arms and out-of-breath/slower swimming later. Any tips and tricks to get into the midset of swimming slower during warmups? :)
Try to decrease your stroke count by 1 or 2 from what is "natural" for you. Changing stroke count can also be combined with a restrictive breathing pattern, (every 3 or every 5 for example).
This. I try to do no more than 11 strokes per length during warmup, which also seems to help prevent arm soreness. Mixing in some kicking and pulling seems to slow me down, too.
