What is your typical warmup for a session or a race?
Former Member
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. :)
most meets won't let you use fins, paddles, snorkels, etc.
banned by USMS rules.
not only have i told people to get rid of them, i've also told them the tape (on shoulders, arms, legs) is also illegal in competition.
