Is there any harm if you don't eat anything before swimming at 5am, 6am (though I suppose that's what most early swimmers do)?

  • I swim at 5:30 or 6 AM depending on masters practice and/or pools schedules. I typically have coffee on the ride to the pool along with a piece of toast and PB or an energy bar. I am a big believer in having a light pre-workout snack. I don't have too many problems if I don't eat but I hate to miss my AM coffee!
