How to warm up before a swimming competition?

Swimming can not only strengthen our body, but also improve our cardiopulmonary capacity, making ourselves slimmer and more beautiful. It is one of the essential exercises for athletes who love beauty. Today I want to talk about warm-up exercises before a swimming competition. Warm-up exercises, as the name suggests, are to move the body and activate the body's motor cells, which is very important for all kinds of sports. So what exercises should be done before swimming?

The consistency of the warm-up should extend into competition, where we essentially use the same warm-up method with very few changes. This again comes down to the importance of warming up as part of your regular speed training.

The following is a typical pre-game warm-up. After completing this set of training, the athletes were full of confidence and fully prepared for the competition.

1. 400m swimming, moderate pace, emphasizing keeping the rhythm constant, increasing the heart rate, and getting familiar with the venue (with

including the location of flags, 15m markings and lighting conditions).

2.4 x 100m swimming to increase intensity. Include arm strokes in this set of exercises.

3.4 x 50m swim, again increasing the intensity.

4. 200 to 300 meters of two-leg kicking. Swimmers focus on training fast erosion and pushing off the wall.

5.6 x 50m training combined with acceleration swimming. Work on your stroke technique in the first 25 meters, then increase your speed in the second 25 meters of each stroke.

Competitions present an additional challenge in warming up, as you may warm up multiple times throughout the day—one warm-up before the race and another before each swim. You should do the following before your first dive:

Warm up, and then each subsequent swim can be appropriately shortened. These secondary warm-ups can be shortened, but you should still follow the same principles - start with a moderate pace, then increase the intensity. Increase your concentration and body temperature.

The editor tried it and the whole set took no more than ten minutes, but it can effectively avoid cramps, hypoxia and other discomfort symptoms during the subsequent swimming process. If it is before the competition, you can better exert your strength and get better results. Therefore, whether we are before a game or before exercise, we must do a good warm-up exercise.
