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? :)

  • I'm not sure how you guys manage it, but my stroke count in free is 25 in a 25 yard pool (I'm 5'5"). Slowed down, I can reduce it to 21. With flippers on, I can manage 17. How are you managing to enlongate your stroke so much? Do you get past the flag s on your push offs?If not there is a big part of the problem.
