T2 Aquatics – Meet Warmups (Free Resource)

One of the questions I’ve recieved has to do with “Meet Warmups”. Athletes at T2 Aquatics do a few different warmups when at meets, depending on their age and level of experience. I’d like to describe two different warmups; one done by Erika Erndl and the other done by Katie Hoff. 

Erika Erndl’s Meet Warmup

SCY when possible.

5 X 200s SKIPS

6 X 75s “standard issue”:
25 no breath or under water, 25 drill, 25 build swim
odds fly evens free

8 X 25s speed play
variable sprints, breakouts or builds depending on the event

1 X dive breakout

100 easy

Katie Hoff’s Meet Warmup

A mix of LCM and SCY when possible.

800 Swim — Mixed strokes
400 Kick (this could be a 200 or 300 depending on the time of season, or adjusted from prelims to finals)
200 IM Drill
200 Pull
200 IM Drill
4×50 Build (sometimes this is done as “full 50s build” and sometimes it’s done as 1/3 build, 1/3 drill, 1/3 build)

(usually for a 400 IM Katie will do 8×50, 2 of each….odds drill and evens “thirds” as decribed above).
