My coach today told me that cooling down at the end of practice was not good for the body. He said it could rip muscles that were just worked. I have always been taught that the cool down was important, especially after working hard and getting the heart rate up.
Keep in mind that this is an USA-S practice and those I'm swimming with are teenagers.
I'm curious what others think?

I think he and I were on the same page as far as what we were talking about - cool down. His room mate has a fever, maybe he got one too and it went to his brain. hee-hee. I have to say, though, I agree with 99% of the things he says, just not this, especially after an intense set.
