I know this is a very newbie question, and there is ample info in swim books/sites about this, but I'd love to hear from REAL SWIMMERS like you, thank you very much.
What works for you?
Lately I've been doing a series of 200m to 25m swims, usually totalling 800m, as a warmup.
Example: 2x200m + 2x100m + 2x50m + 4x25m, starting very easy, ending at "fast" pace.
In the future I hope to incorporate drills into the warmup, but I don't have a clue yet. :)
I do the same warm up that I did in HS/college. 500 FR- usually pretty pokey, some drill or just moving around. 400 IM SKSD and then either 4x50s build or 8x25's build, maybe some fast 12.5's to practice breakouts and underwater work and 2-3 starts.
