Ok, so here it is my first meets since high school (long ago) & I am perplexed.
I always take a shower before practice/getting into the water. I don't know how this will work when I have a meet. Am I supposed to be dry when going off the blocks? Does it really matter? I have a feeling that the water will be cold & a shock when I dive in. I know I should be worrying about other things but this will do for now. How much of a warm-up do people do at meets before their events?

Good point.
I am generally too excited after a swim to remember. After 5 or 10 minutes I remember what I should be doing and it always feels so good to have a cool off swim. Nice looooong strokes at a leisurely pace.
