Warming up at swim meets. Every swimmer knows that trying to warm up at a swim meet can be a huge pain, especially at big meets such as Nationals or World Trials where the pool can be super crowded. What makes your warm up experience worse is when some swimmers do things that are selfish and annoying.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t any specific rules about warming up set by FINA or USA Swimming, but there are some rules set by the meet organizers such as feet first entry in each lane to ensure every one\u2019s safety and convenience. There are also some rules that usually aren\u2019t written in black and white, but every swimmer should know them.<\/p>\n

1. No usage of hand paddles.<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve lost count the number times I\u2019ve been hit in the face or poked by a hand paddle when I was just trying to peacefully warm up for my race. Every swimmer would do anything in order to swim fast in their races, but using had paddles when you\u2019re warming up is a selfish act and it is not safe for other swimmers.<\/p>\n

In the FINA rulebook, rule number 7.2<\/a>\u00a0states,<\/p>\n

\u201cIn each sports discipline, minimal safety requirements must be defined and applied with a view to protecting the health of the athletes and the public during training and competition. Depending on the sport and the level of competition, specific rules should be adopted regarding the sports venues, the safe environmental conditions, the sports equipment authorized or prohibited, and the training and competition programmes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although neither FINA nor USA Swimming stated that the usage of hand paddles during warm ups as an official rule, most of the meet organizers forbid the usage of equipment such as fins and paddles during warm ups.<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t jump on top of other swimmers.<\/h3>\n

The reason is pretty obvious\u2026.it hurts. You\u2019ll hurt yourself, you\u2019ll hurt the person you just jumped on, and you\u2019ll probably slow the entire lane down. But some people do it anyways. Be cautious and look out for any swimmers coming into the wall before jumping in, feet first of course. The last thing you need at a swim meet is an injury!<\/p>\n

3. Pace lane means pace lane.<\/h3>\n

Unless you\u2019re doing nothing else other than pace sets, it\u2019s better to stay out of the pace lane. You might be in someone\u2019s way and there\u2019s a higher chance of people crashing into you at their full speed. Vice versa, if you want to do pace sets, go to a pace lane. You might feel great lapping everybody else in the lane but other swimmers will be\u00a0annoyed.<\/p>\n

4. Be courteous to other swimmers.<\/h3>\n

One thing that every swimmer should keep in mind when warming up is to be considerate. The title\u2019s pretty self-explanatory, don\u2019t intentionally do anything that is in the way of other swimmers. There are many things swimmers do that get in the way of other swimmers that they are not aware of.<\/p>\n

For instance, go to the side of the lane if you want to rest at the wall. Circle swim; don\u2019t swim in the middle of the lane unless you\u2019re trying to lap someone. Be courteous to others, you wouldn\u2019t like it if someone constantly gets in your way and messes up your whole warm up would you?<\/p>\n

Other than these unspoken rules, every coach and swimmer has the responsibility to read the rule book sent out by the meet organizers before every meet, and respect them. And at the end of the day, we could all agree that a smooth and hassle-free warm up makes everyone happy.<\/p>\n
