I just want to know how you guys get up so early in the morning (be at the pool at 5:30) to swim. Are there any tips you can give me? I'm interested in joining the Masters Swim program but the only thing is that it is so dang early in the morning. And let me tell you, I am NOT a morning person. Any way to get use to this, especially if I do decide to swim early, early in the morning? Plus, getting in the water makes me feel good, and even after I have done a workout. I have those days where I absolutely do not want to swim, (and I'm sure most of us have had that) but once I get in the water and swim, I'm fine. If you could please share some tips with me I would greatly appreciate it.

If you should wake up, let's say, 20-30 minutes before your alarm is scheduled to go off, GET UP. You're awake and it isn't that hard. However, if you go back to sleep the alarm will go off when you are in a deep sleep (or at least it seems so to me), and it is then VERY HARD to get up. My alarm is set for 5:10, but for some reason I will usually wake up around 4:30 or 4:45, so I just get up and then I have more time to eat a little something, read some of the paper, and watch the weather on TV.
