What do you eat before an early morning practice?

I usually swim at 6:30 am or 7:00 am. I always drink coffee with milk before practice. Sometimes I also eat a small bowl of cereal with milk or a few pieces of dry fruit; sometimes I eat nothing. I never want to eat when I first wake up, and I get pretty nauseated if I swim too soon after eating. But if I am planning to be in the pool for more than an hour at a time I do need to make time for a pre-practice snack for the last 30-60 min. to be at all useful. I am usually in the water by 5am and I have a multivitamin and 16oz of water before practice. A multivitamin on an empty stomach would make me queasy even if I did not follow it up with a swim.
