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?

When there is no warmup chance I generally count on the shower room for my warmups. I even go as far as wrapping my arms and legs in warm towels. I also do some light exercises, never stretch just loosen up. I also do a series of breathing exercises.
