I am competing in my first swim meet in a long time and was looking for advice for warm up at the meet as I haven't ever competed without a team and a coach. I have been swimming 2800-3200 yards per 1 hour workout and will be completing the 50 fly, 50 back, 50 ***, 50 free, 100 ***, and 100 IM at the meet. Suggestions?

Tell us more. When is the meet? Do you do weights and cardio etc? Do you want a taper plan or just ideas?
To start with, I think since you're obviously a sprinter or only interested in short races for now...some good short burst sets 10-20 x 25 or 50 on good rest is a great set. Also do some drill work so that you get good technical habits; sure in a 50 it's over fast but the better the technique is practiced the more it sticks when you need it.
This might be good too: drill/fast swim/drill for a 75, x however many you want and on your interval
