I don't want it to become a self-fulfilling prophecy but, it seems without fail that, I swim faster in the afternoon than in the morning. My 50's are faster by 1-2 seconds, my 100's by 3-4 seconds and my 200's by 6-8 seconds. I am guessing it is related to being more warmed up in the afternoon. I hardly ever do a warm up on the deck. I usually just jump into the pool and swim untill I feel good (about 500 meters) and then do a main set or two followed by a warm down. Could there be another reason?
Just agreeing this is very common, due to sleep cycles and food.
There have been studies that athletic performance overall is better in the afternoon/evening.
Are you swimming on an empty stomach in the morning? That might be something to look at. How long do you give yourself to wake up?
