With some championship meets coming over the next couple of weekends, I thought it would be helpful to post a sample of a meet warm-up.
I like my swimmers to “Have a plan” when it comes to meet warm-ups and in the days prior to competitions I allow them to create their own “Warm-Up Plan” I will also give them my plan as examples of how to create their own. I also like my swimmers to warm up anywhere from 1500-2500 meters. This is our practice warm-up for tonight.
