  • In college it was suggested we warm down 1000y at a minimum after a 50 or 100 swim especially if we had further races the same day. Given the order of magnitude scale higher that olympians are on versus lowly normal college swimmers... 1200 seems low to me. Where are you supposed to warm down at a college meet? Most of the places don't have the facilities available to have multiple pool space, and the 5 minute breaks here and there aren't enough.
