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?

  • Are you a "morning person" or a "evening person"? I am an "evening person" so yes I do swim better after noon time till 10 at night. as a team , we do about 800 - 1000 swim followed by 600 - 800 in drills before the main set. So maybe these two things can help you/
