After a limited sample (two workouts) of active vs static stretching prior to diving in, I would have to agree with this article's premise. I did feel quite a bit looser earlier in my workout, and not as tired until much later.
I am an older swimmer (51) who only gets into the water about three times a week. So perhaps that has something to do with it.
I would be interested to hear if others have put this process to the test and what their experiences are.
