Popeyes will get your kid swimming fast.

Monday: chicken sandwich
Tuesday: wings
Wednesday: tenders
Thursday: spicy breast
Friday: shrimp (good for lent too)
Saturday: mild breast
Sunday: nuggets

Comes with great side options. RBR, Cajun Rice, fries, biscuits, mash potatoes, mac n cheese.

People eat all their dinners at the pool all summer?

Huh. That is fascinating to me. Is this out of necessity somehow or you want to do this?

Having to make and transport dinner 7 nights a week doesn't sound awesome at all.

This sounds awful. Don’t you live close to the pool to go home for dinner? You could order pizza or fried chicken I guess. Or make sandwiches.

So honestly we get a lot of pizza and take out and make pb&j. My kids live at the pool all summer. YMMV.

DP - it's fun sometimes, like on weekend evenings when you're at the pool for hours and have the time for low-key meals. And sometimes it's much more efficient, such as when you have kids in different evening practice times on weekdays.

Seven days a week, less fun, at least for me (someone who *loves* our summer pool).

Our pool has grills so I sometimes pre-make kebobs that can be grilled there -- protein and vegetable all in one! Pasta salad and fruit/veg trays are another staple. And of course delivery and food trucks as that is more popular now!
