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?

Hi Coach Marc. Nice to see you on here. Want to join me for a swim around 9:30 this morning?
Thanks for the article. It was interesting. I'll stick with my cool down so I don't pass out on the pool deck in front of you. :)
