Her next session starts in April at Acadia on Wednesday mornings starts at 5:35am. Sign up and COMMIT! I guarantee you will get better with her I think she is doing the one at Canyon Meadows as well? But those are Tues or Thursday from 6am-7am. I can check to see if she's doing those if that fits better for your schedule.
Seriously. You won't regret it. (well.. you may curse her name a little during your workout, which I have done when she's done my workouts, but you will appreciate it in the end.)
This sounds like a REALLY good option, and I think I'm gonna do it. I hope it's not TOO advanced for me. The website description says "must be able to swim four lengths without stopping" which I can do, just not very fast, and not doing any flip-turns.

Acadia is definitely the most convenient location for me, and 5:30am vs. 6am is no biggie, they are both so early in the AM I don't think it will make a difference!

Thanks for the heads up!

edit: I suppose I still have 5 weeks to get into the pool and start working!
