I have been participating in Local, State and Nationals meets since 10 years ago but every time I get into a meet I am always worried about warming up too much time or just not enough and I also ask to myself how much effort to put on it.
As almost all the times during meets the pool is full for the warm ups, I do not feel that my different trainers I have had during this years had put too much attention to this issue, so I would like to ask people in this forum for your recomendations.

I usually swim mid-distance, but I'll do the occasional 100. For me, no matter what the race, I do at least 1200. That includes: easy swimming, kicking, lots of drills, and either pace or sprints (depending on the race).
I really let how I feel dictate how much I'll warm up again right before the race. Rarely, I won't even warm up right before a race.
