Stupid question.. But what is a good pace for warm up? I get some slight twinges of shoulder and elbow pain lately, I'm young and don't do much with the shoulders, get 1-2 days of rest (at least) a week from swimming... But when warming up, I end up getting that "good burn" after just a few hundred yards and almost feel my shoulders tiring. I am probably warming up with 500/600 yds at a 1:45/100 pace. Is this too fast? Too Slow?
I find it hard to slow myself down if that makes any sense.. I am no speed demon but I seem to be set for one speed unless sprinting.

Some coaches use warmups as part of a swimming set. I like separate warm ups that get all muscles prepped to handle the workout sets. A warmup should take from 5 minutes to a max of 10 minutes.
