Sometimes after our workouts I feel completely wiped. (I refer to this as "blowing a gasket"). It's all I can do to drag myself to the car and drive home, which is luckily not very far. Usually it's a sprint workout that will do it. Let's just say that it makes it hard to get work done the rest of the day... Does this happen to anyone else? Any suggestions, other than "don't swim as hard," which seems to be defeat the reason why I am there in the first place? (It doesn't seem to me that I am swimming harder than anyone else).

Then again, if the problem is truly only post-sprints, it's probably normal and should get better with time.
In my case, it's not just after the sprint workouts. However, I can feel it coming, even during the workout, and a few sprints or harder exertions can push it over the top. I usually know by the end of the workout if I'll need a nap or not.
It never happened during swim meets, regardless of whether I swam a 1500, or a bunch-a-50's
Also, it doesn't happen only when out of shape, or getting back into things. It can happen just about any time.
