Morning swim

So I made sure to drink plenty of water before heading off for my swim this morning. It must have made a difference because I swam faster than last sunday. But I still felt like I was struggling. From the start, my arms felt sore and weak, my body position felt wrong, breathing was difficult, and there was no kick in my kick. The thing is I don't do a lot of morning workouts. Mostly I swim in the afternoon. But almost all the open water swims I've signed up for this summer happen in the morning. Several of them count as very long swims for me. So I need to know I feel swimming in the morning. The time for experimentation is short. One more sunday morning swim, two at the most, and it will be go time.
