Won't the dehumidifier warm up the room again?
Yes, but it's not a big deal because it only will run once the humidity gets above a certain level - especially if you're using it to cover multiple rooms where any heat from it running will disperse across a wide area. You set it to something like 60% and it will pop on occasionally for a few minutes to maintain that level.
In a closed room with a swamp cooler it's a bit of a different story, but that's why I recommend that only for a short period of time, a couple of hours at most. Just long enough to cool down yourself and the room.
So you leave the dehumidifier on all the time on an automatic setting in a central location in the house to keep the air in the house fairly dry, run a swamp cooler late in the afternoon to cool down your room, and if it isn't too hot and humid outside, open a couple of windows in the house to get some cross ventilation going and air out the house once the sun goes down.
