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.

Always have EVERYTHING packed the night before, and lay out your go-to-workout clothes, too. I even put my suit on before I go to the pool - no getting out of it once the suit is on. Make getting out of the house completely brainless. I workout every day at 5:30am (3x/wk is at the pool on my own), and I put everything (computer bag, gym bag, keys, granola bar) right by the front door...I can't miss it. I vote for the roll out of bed and into the car method, and I've discovered that having a remote start on my new car does really help this effort!
