WU is some light stretching and easy lunges or side lunges.
MS: choose 4-6 "core" movements and do them each for 30-60sec each with 30sec recovery. Some ideas are: planks, side planks, back planks w/feet on chair, push-up, push-up to pike, one legged hand touches, crunches, side crunches, supermans, lateral leg lifts, etc.
CD: light stretching and multi-plane movements.

I felt much better than my descending swim last Friday. I figured I can swim as fast as 1:14 per 100 without breaking my form or kicking in excess. I also figured I can sustain 1:16-17 at a steady pace with good form and without going totally anaerobic. I settled to achieve this pace in each 100 and I did it!
