warmdowns

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.
