MEET WARM UPS

Some of you still come in to meets and ask what you should do for warm up when your on your own. We ran thru it the last 2 days, and I said I would post it so here it is.

GENERAL WARM UP AT START OF MEET

400 swim/ 200 kick
6 x 75 kick-drill-swim (odds free/ evens stroke no free
200 IM drill
4x50 free (build to fast by 50's)@50
3x50 kick ( build to fast)@1:00
8x25 fast free / A-3 stroke
100 swim down

2nd WARM UP IF NEEDED ( You should plan this out so your event is with in 10-15 minutes after)

150-200 loosen up
3x50 (A-3/A-4/A-5)
4-6 fast 25's with 20 seconds rest
Let's go have a good race

Don't forget to keep your bodies warm after warming up.  If you warm up and than sit around with out sweats etc than you are only hurting yourself.  You should be going to the blocks with your bodies wrapped up and warm.  Swim smarter!
