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?
Sounds normal to me. When I'm relatively "in shape" (i.e., able to swim several times per week), the first part of swimming is a little rough, but does get better. When I'm relatively not "in shape" (i.e., haven't been in the water for several weeks), then the first 100 feels great, but then it all catches up and goes downhill.
