And if you do, do you go before or after? and how do you think it helps your swimming?

From my personal experience and advice from professionals, it’s best to use a spa (hot tub) only after swimming as the hot water acts as a muscle relaxant.
There’s also that well known problem of not wanting to get out of that nice cozy warm tub and into the cool/cold water of the pool.
Even after taking a warm shower at home several hours before swimming, there’s still the “Yikes Effect” when you plunge into the pool.
Happy Swimming :D
