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? :)

Any tips and tricks to get into the midset of swimming slower during warmups? :) swim in slow motion relax remind yourself that when most swimmers train they go too fast, when they are supposed to go slow and they go too slow, when they are supposed to go fast Swim distance per stroke and count your strokes for each length think EASY EASY it's OK to go easy. do easy 25's with 5 to 10 seconds rest or easy 50's with 10 to 20 seconds rest Just think: easy, slow it down, loosen up, perfect technique
