That wont relax your muscles. You can do some soft-tissue work after to help with recovery. Or use the hot-tub and stretch out. But the foam roller soft tissue work is the best option.

It might be fun, but if you want somethign benificial get a foam roller and do the soft-tissue work. Your body will thank you.

I agree with Lara. Soft tissue work is great. I tend to have my clients wait 5 minutes or so after weight training (depending on the CNS emand) before going for soft tissue type therapy. Stretching is also an obvious way of "relaxing" muscles. Swimming at a low impact level will help with lactic acid and decrease DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Also, swimming alleviates a lot of gravity from your body. This should help you efficiently use (prehab) ancillary and stabilizer muscles around your "ball and socket" joints.

Ya and along with that it will hurt your gains. If you must do it get a nice big PWO shake in before the pool. And anotherone after.

It will not hurt your gains. You should be just fine. I would not swim more than 20 minutes here. If you trained more than 45 minutes than a PWO should be used. All you need is a small amount of protein (or just BCAA capsules) and simple sugar with electrolytes (gatorade).
