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?

Warm Ups I'll do about 800...any less I don't feel ready. If it's a small meet with crowded lanes I will sometimes do less because I can't stand overcrowded multi speeed/stroke circling.
Rehaearse the turns looking for cues as Kirk said. A few fast turns, some ez stretching type swims and a few short phosphate sprints (15yards)...and make sure you get in a few dives in the dive lane.
