When I swim in the morning, I feel like a nap shortly after.
When I swim at night, I am wired and can't fall asleep for hours.
Just swimming, too -- other exercise is just the opposite.

When you swim in the morning after being a little (even just a very tiny little) bit short on sleep time, then I would assume that after the workout, your body feels like sleeping again. May be hard to get good quality workouts under these circumstances.
At night, it's quite simple. If you swim hard (lots of master coaches like to throw in hard race pace sets at night), then you boost the rate of your base metabolism. During those hardish swims, some catecolamine hormons (epinephrin, norepenefrin sorry for the english mistakes) get released in greater than usual levles. These in turn have an impact on the rate of your metabolism.
When going to bed, you may experiment feeling hot and may experiment a higher than usual HR. You feel aware and don't feel in a state to get to sleep. It's normal. Training is a stress, and too much stress will make your sleep harder.
On the other hand, pay attention to those workouts are are exclusively aerobic, no challenging set. Just fine aerobic relaxing stuff. After these, endorphins is the hormone that is found in greater level. And that can definitely contribute to favor the sleep.
