Whenever I get in the pool, my fastest 100 or 200 or 400 or whatever I happen to do is always the fastest and easiest set that I do.
After that it's always downhill. I thought you are supposed to get faster as you warm up.
It's almost like if I was ever going to race that I should not warm up at all and just dive into the water and swim as fast as I can.
It's not like that with cycling. My second ten miles will always be faster than the first.
Am I doing something wrong in the water?

How long have you been swimming? If you are relatively new at it, maybe your technique deteriorates after the first 100. When I returned to swimming after 20 years off, I could barely swim 100 yards without tiring out my arms.
Slow way down during your warm-up and focus on technique.
