Should A Comma Be Used With This Correlative Conjunction?

Hey folks, are there times when a comma is used with correlative conjunctions? I know that commas are not typically used with "either/or," "neither/nor" etc. But are there exceptions where a comma is used?

I'm particularly confused about this sentence:

I used to love both swimming competitively and playing football.

When I read this sentence, I sense a pause after "both." So I'm wondering if a comma should be placed after
"both" or not? Thank you!

No comma is needed in your example, and it would be incorrect to put a comma in the sentence.
