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?
On the day of the meet do your usual warmup that you do at every workout.Then do 3-4 12.5s at race pace.Work on 1st 12.5(with start if allowed),then middle 12.5 with turn,then finish 12.5 and maybe one more to work on start,turn or finish.Then swim easy until you feel completely loose.About 30 min before your race swim some more easy to get loose and warmed up again.After each race swim 200-300 easy to cool down.
