I do several stretches pointed out as no-nos in that article. I have a little routine that I always do, much of which I borrowed from Janet Evans' book. But after reading that I'm thinking I might just quit stretching altogether. :confused:

  • Yeah, I can see the use of stretching before participating in sports with lots of stopping and starting and somewhat unpredictable movements (i.e., tennis, soccer), but swimming is very repetitive. It just seems logicial that the best way to loosen up the muscles used for swimming is by swimming.
