I don't know about before swimming but I've tried stretching before lifting, after lifting and both. Now I prefer to stretch and work on mobility on my rest days.
I find plenty of warmup sets is enough to stretch me out for the main lifts and when I tried stretching after my workouts it was often half heartedly and sometimes I'd cut it short.
