[quote=Anonymous]Many neighborhood pools have boundary covenants as they were built as an amenity for local communities (often by local communities).  Our pool has a waiting list also. But wouldn’t help DEI at individual pools but I would absolutely support county investment in pools in diverse neighborhoods that could join the MCSL.  It would be a great perk to have access to a pool.

individual pools are only going to be as diverse as neighborhoods are.  I don't believe it is a matter of cost. A lot of these pools are fairly low cost or included in a neighborhood HOA fee.  Our swim team fee is nominal.  I think it works out to less than $5/practice.  This is not country club swim.

I do agree though (beyond summer), Swimming is an expensive sport - that could be addressed through cost of year-round swim.  Also, the rejection of various swim caps is ridiculous. USA Swim should fix that.

Last point - I didn’t interpret earlier poster to mean all clique issues were related to diversity.  A lot of complaining was more about favoritism of club swimmers or volunteer families or whatever.
