I'm curious as to wheather people believe that the 5:30 A.M. practice is what makes swimming such a tough sport. For those of you that religiously attend early morning practices, what's your secret to sticking with it?
I think that swimming early in the morning is tough only if you are not a morning person. We have a group of swimmers here in Utah that swim at 5:30 am and seem to be very happy with it. It suits their schedule. Personally, I am not a morning person and I am fortunate that my schedule allows me to swim in the noon workouts--to swim at 5:30 am would probably cause me to quit the sport!
I envy the early morning workout folk when nationals are in the Eastern half of the US: I assume they do not have problems starting so early!
