Stretching during the swim can help flexibility, but it doesn't replace a proper cool-down. A 5–10 minute easy swim or light aerobic activity followed by gentle stretching helps gradually lower heart rate, promote circulation to clear metabolic waste, and reduce dizziness, stiffness, and injury risk.
