Stretching - More Important Before Workout Or After?

Re: Poll - Multiple answers can be made in the poll - select all that apply. 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
