I am an evening swimmer 8:30-10:00
Our outdoor long course pool opened, but is only going to be used for am (6:00-7:30) workouts for the next month. I love swimming outdoors and long course so I thought, "I'll do it- I'll swim in the morning". So I did today. Now it is about 1pm and I am fading fast. I can't keep my train of thought. I just put my head down to get a little micro-sleep and noticed two different socks poking out from my pant bottoms (One all black anfd one black with red flowers). I was just curious what the break down of amers/lunch timers/pmers was. Also, any advice on how to get up in the morning?

I'm both - Mon & Wed I swim in the evening after work. Fridays, I go late morning (after the water aerobics class is out). Oddly enough, I don't swim with the Masters team here because their morning workout is too late for me: I'm at work by 6:30 am, meaning the 6-7 am workout doesn't fit. I work a 10-hour day (4 days/ week) and the only thing that made getting up every day at 5:30 was repitition.:D
After about a year (yes, a year) of draggin my a$$ out of bed to get to work, it started to become routine.
I haven't tried swimming early in the morning for a loooong time. I'm lucky enough that I go home and can fall over after a workout.
On Fridays, I can take my time at the pool, run errands afterwards and take a nap in the afternoon. So I can't help with the pep-you-up-in-the-middle-of-the-day issue. However, I would suggest laying your work clothes out the night before ;)
