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 do any stretching on cold muscles anymore. I've had more than one bad experience and have just abandoned the practice completely now. Additionally, I've never really felt the need to stretch before or after swimming. A good warmup before doing anything strenuous has worked pretty well for me.
I do find that cycling will leave me with tight hamstrings from time to time and I will stretch those, but not cold.
