Or make tomato, avocado , shrimp with lime juice and cilantro, put into warm flour tortillas (warm them in foil until right before leaving, throw them into a thermal lunch bag).
Those are my favorites.

This is nicer than what I eat at home.

Fried chicken pack from the grocery store and watermelon slices. And maybe some mini cucs.

Y’all are so lucky. We have zero pool access.

pasta salads (with cheese, pepperoni, etc)
charcuterie/cheese/fruit boards
cold subs
tortillas, sliced chicken, shredded cheese, black beans, guacamole cups (my kids call these "pool fajitas")
empanadas
sushi (veggie)
sesame noodles with rotisserie shredded chicken
mozz, pesto, tomato on foccacia

Ahhh love “pool fajitas”. Cute!

Who would want to eat at any of the pools in the area?

Does your pool have a snack bar? Pizza, burgers-for an occasional option?

If you work then you can take the kids to pool to swim for a bit, have dinner, and swim again

my kid usually in bed at 8. So if I go to the pool in the afternoon I would rather have more time at the pool and eat there then just go home and start shower, bedtime etc. when we take dinner out I usually put it together at lunch so there’s only one clean up. It’s just easier and more convenient to eat out but I don’t want her eating crap that often.

Or they can swim. And you can go home and have dinner and they can wash up before bed. swim longer on the weekend. This is weird

Yes, if you show up at pool at 5:30 and kids go to bed by 8:30/9. This was our summer post work routine before we had more
flexible WFH schedules.

Yaaaas. Thank you. No one cleans those little tables. Shit at the overpriced pool I went to, those fools did not even clean the pool. Had a ton of leaves and dead bugs floating around. Rather sit at home in the bathtub with a popsicle.
