All parents go through something like this. I think I just need to write it down to stay on track and not get overwhelmed. I get up at 4:30am to go to work early. My wife gets the kids up and to school. I get out of work around 3pm (unless I get stuck in some issue). I go right to the pool from about 3:30pm to 4:30pm. My wife takes the little one to her practice at 6pm. I take the older one at 6:30pm for dryland and then swimming from 7-8pm.
This really is crazy.

This was my summer schedule for approx 10 weeks:
Weekdays:
5.40 am get up and go to pool for 6am-7.15am swim
Home, make breakfast for myself and kids, eat breakfast.
Get daughter to pool for 9.30am-10.15am swim
Then deal with the rest of the day which often involved going to a friend's pool, or taking the kids to the outdoor pools. Except the 3 weeks where I had her do some diving lessons, so we went to a different pool at 10.45 for 30mins.
Saturdays up at 5.40 for 7am warm-up at swim meets held at various local pools - both my daughter and myself swam.
Sundays I tried to stay dry.
Now its easy - I swim when smaller child is at pre-school and my older daughter swims 6.30-7pm, about 3 nights per week, depending on when they have the pool.
