How much warm up before a meet

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.

    Your warmup should be event specific, 10 to 15 miute duration. If you are in a crawl event you should do crawl, in the wu. Why? it is to wu the muscles you are going to use and get the brain to think crawl. George www.swimdownhill.com
