I have heard people say it's better to stretch before workout and others say it is better to stretch during/after workouts.
I have also heard people say stretching before is a good way to hurt yourself.
I have always believed stretching before workout is better and have swum better.
I wanted to get your feedback and links if any supporting your views.
Thanks
I don't stretch before the swim workouts...maybe just a little shaking out the arms and legs. After about 200-500 Yards or swimming, I will take a little time to stretch out the arms, twist the back -crrrack- a few times, and shoulders and neck. Then I get back at it again before the others bombard my lane and make it impossible for me to do any set worth a darn to me. :)
