I'm just curious if people vary what they do in a meet warm up vs. a regular warm up. Something I never got the proper hang of during my fastest swimming days was 1) what MY best taper was and 2) what MY best meet warm up was. It was always do as I was told. I always suspected my tapers were too short (based on anecdotal evidence of feeling a week after championships like I was indestructible and could have shattered my times if the meet was that day) and never had a clue if my meet warm ups were sufficient, as we were typically left to our own devices to splash around.
Figuring that people's workout warm ups will roughly reflect the events they are training for, do you do the same warm up at a meet as you do in practice? How do you decide if your meet warm up is working for you?
