Circadian variation in swim performance [PDF]
Previous findings of time-of-day differences in athletic performance could be confounded by diurnal fluctuations in environmental and behavioral “masking” factors (e.g., sleep, ambient temperature, and energy intake). The purpose of this study was to examine whether there is a circadian rhythm in swim performance that is independent of these masking ...

Relationship Between Tethered Swimming in a Flume and Swimming Performance [PDF]
Purpose: To study the relationship between tethered swimming in a flume at different speeds and swimming performance. Methods: Sixteen regional-level swimmers performed 25-, 50-, and 100-m front-crawl trials and four 30-s tethered-swimming tests at 0, 0.926, 1.124, and 1.389 m·s−1 water-flow velocities.
