As I have ramped up yardage I assumed I would sleep more. Unfortunately this has not been the case. I go to sleep very quickly and then between 1-3am(the last two nights it's been 2.15am) I wake up and then can't go back to sleep. I have tried using melatonin with no luck. I am very reluctant to use anything else due to its affect on my swimming. Has anyone else experienced anything similar and if so and thoughts on how to sleep? I am planning on heading to my doctor to see what they recommend.

With increased workouts, the body needs more resources to recover. Even though we don't sweat a lot in a swim workout, adequate hydration is important in recovery.
I've had some similar issues with difficulty sleeping after an early AM pee break. If you had a decent workout the previous day, drink some water and sleep will come back.
