I use a hot tub after workout if available. If one is available at a meet I'll get in for a short time after warm-up. In the late 60s they did a study of swimmers at a meet. They had half do their regular warm-up and half take a long hot shower. Although the shower group reported feeling weak before they raced,they none the less did better on average.
