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).

Michael Phelps trains his fly mostly at 50-100m intervals at race pace. He never goes beyond 200m per set. Nor does he swim a couple thousands yards free just to warmup. All this is to conserve his energy and efficiently use it to train at high intensity.

I think you'll see that he typically does at least 2,000 yards warmup. No, it isn't all all free, but I never suggested that warmup should be all free.
