There was some confusion over the previous poll "What is your favorite stroke?", as the word "favorite" can be interpreted many different ways. For example, someone may think it's his/her favorite because it's most graceful and likes to watch this stroke the most, but he/she may not necessarily swim this stroke.
So this is the new poll.
Please only select the stroke you PERSONALLY train and spend most time swimming (and thinking about).

All organized workouts I have ever been in spent about 1/4 of the time or yardage doing "warmup". As Knelson says, warmup is a variety of strokes, drills, pulling, kicking, distances, and intensities (but never anaerobic or threshold sets.)
Whether this is a good training idea is one issue, but the fact of its presence in swimming programs is not debatable.
Track sprinters spend all day walking easy. Spending 20 or 30 minutes swimming easy is not unreasonable.
