This Saturday is the first meet of the season and I am excited and anxious to start racing again. My main problem with swim meets is warm ups. I have a terrible time with warming up, it is difficult for me to concentrate when so many other people around are doing completely different things plus the lanes are always to crowded to get any quality time in. My question then is does anyone have any good tips or workouts for warming up at a meet? What do you do before a meet. I haven't seemed to have gotten this part down yet and for me warm ups are crucial to my speed and it takes me awhile to get warmed up. Any advice is appreciated thank you.
By the way is anyone swimming in Fresno this Saturday November 7th?
I tend to be one of the first people in the water.
I try to do the same 1000-1200 warm up at meets that I have during practice.
if you feel the need to get some drill or kicking done in your warm up start with a 200choice then go right into those things you need before the pools get crowded.
if you are not swimming in the first event, wait until the last 20minutes or so and jump in as most people are getting out.
