An effective swimming specific warm up is vital if you want your swimmers to perform to their best in the pool.

We have worked with British Swimming to produce a guide to pre-pool routines for swimmers aged approximately 12 to 16.

The warm ups should be performed in the order:

1. Raise
2. Mobilise
3. Activate
4. Prime

Swimmers should perform three to five repetitions for between two and four exercises of each sub-stage.

For the prime and activate stages, once a swimmer is able to complete all exercises with good technique and control, they can move to the next level.
