I find A and B correct by having different meanings. In any case, the action in the first clause takes place at a moment in the past. But the action in the 2nd clause takes place before or after this past moment.
so A conveys the meaning that at 2pm yesterday I would have liked to have gone swimming at 10am that day.
and B conveys the meaning that at 2pm yesterday I would have liked to go swimming at 4pm that day.
correct me if I'm wrong.
