I am wondering how many of you take the time to warm down with an easy swim after a workout. I always feel rushed for time and usually end up skipping most or all of the warmdown, feeling that it is a better use of time to workout right up till the time I need to get out.
I know the conventional wisdom is that warmdowns are important- I just wonder how many actually do more than an easy 50 or 100 before hitting the showers.

I'm with Jim on this - at least 200 after a workout, usually some sort of drill.
I recently started to count laps at meets, and discovered that for every 200 race I swam between 1200 - 1500 in total warmup and warm down. I hadn't realized it was so much.
