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
@Philoswimmer Great point, my greyhounds stretch each time they get off the coach before we let them run outside, and they are quick.
My greyhound stretches a lot also but there's a reason he is laying around on my couch instead of racing at a track.
As for stretching... I don't do any and neither does anyone on my team. I'll stretch my arms between sets if they feel a little tight. I'm definitely not qualified to call it a "good" or "bad" practice though.
