Every single time I practice in the pool I start off in a weird way - as if my muscles are asleep or something(I feels like I do not move what my potential allows me) and only some time throught he work-out it clicks and I start swimming faster , easier and smoother.That probably is nothing strange, 'cause obviously muscles need some warm-p first.
That brings me to the following question: at meets(any level - up to Olympics) do swimmers prefer to warm up somehow(maybe go for a short swim) and is that even possible to do, i.e. are there usually certain areas for that?

Hey, "Dimi, during the first part of my warm up, not only do my muscles feel 'weak' or asleep, but I am also incredibly grouchy even though I have looked forward to swimming all day, don't have a grouchy temperament and usually don't arraive at the pool in a grouchy mood. But then like you say, something clicks and it all goes away.
