[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do high school kids handle 4am morning swim??? My daughter wants to swim 5+ times a week next school year.  She currently swims 3x, after school and it is a big time commitment 25 min there, 35 back with traffic, 1.5 hour practice, once a week she adds 30m dry land.  10 m getting dry and walking to my car, 20m when she used to be able to shower there.  So basically 3 hours every day she swims.  The team she wants to join swims a lot closer to us, every day for 1.5 hours at 4am  :cry:  She can’t swim every day after school because I have other kids that have sports. We simply cannot drive everybody if she practices more. So morning swim would be a great thing for our schedule.  But she can barely get up before school starts, how do kids wake up that early? Is there a method? Or are there just certain kids that can handle that and others can’t?[/quote]

I grew up with this type of swimming schedule and am so fortunate that my parents supported it.  There is a whole subculture of early morning athletes and those bonds are tight.  I'd recommend just setting everything out to make walking out the door as easy as possible.  We would wake up, use the rest room, brush teeth and leave.  It took about 5 minutes.  Carpooling also makes it easier and more bearable.  You just get used to it.[/quote]
