[quote=Anonymous]You get used to it. Ours started at 5 am so Id get up at 4:15, and check on ds ( he started about age 12 with that time). He had alarm but I’d check with him at 4:30 and we would be in the car at 4:45. Swim bag  packed at night by door.

He was highly motivated and swam club and summer through HS. My rule was that he had 2 skips a month with no questions asked - just tell me the night before. He did not take that many over the years.

He also could skip if sick, or if a big test he was anxious about. With all of this, it put in place the overarching rule of …..I did not want to wake up at 4:15 every day and have a problem getting him up.

I have to say in the almost 6 years there may have been 3 x when I went in and he could not get up.

We also got in a car pool after two years, and then they became old enough to drive. ( that is a hard one in knowing when to let a sleepy, young driver drive when dark, cold, wet, etc.)

So many people do it. I’ve always been a morning runner and would get up at 5 to go out at 5:30. It did not affect our older child.
