How about this year we don't dedicate so many lanes to slower swimmers in warm up. Last year there were about 4 end lanes out of the total 16 lanes dedicated to the slowest older swimmers. That's 25% of the entire warmup space ! We need a better way to keep the slow people in the slow lanes and the faster people in the faster lanes during warm up. Warm up turns worthless after the first 10 minutes. John Smith

    The Bad Smith is obviously Paul Smith. He reached over underwater on the push off last year on the 50 free and 100 free and punched me. Then he held my head underwater afterward as punishment for losing..... :-) You can certainly practice turns in one of the warm up pools after the main warm up. The problem is the main warm up is like a sardine can. They should start it an hour earlier and extend it or something to get it thinned out.
