I can't figure out if a person is suppose to eat something before a workout. If so, it's hard to do at 4 a.m.

I always eat something small, like a banana or a granola bar or a handful of cereal. Otherwise, I'm starving 30 minutes into practice, and I can't complete the sets at my normal intensity. Of course, I'm a breakfast person. If you usually eat a small breakfast or no breakfast altogether when you're not swimming in the mornings, you may not need anything before you swim.
