[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer swim is discriminatory to working parents.   [/quote]

How?  Go to afternoon camp practices, meets on weeknights and weekends. Please only do so if you can volunteer, as required. [/quote]

This is the dumbest complaint ever.  Not everything works for everyone.  Move along if it doesn't work for you or find a pool that offers a schedule that is more attractive your family. Discriminatory?  Trust me (1) most 8 yr olds don't want to be in camp all day and then come to swim practice every day; (2) if you kid really wants to swim, you will figure out a way to make it work  by hiring a sitter or by working poolside during practice a couple of times a week (3) kids older than 12 don't want to go to camp anyway and summer swim helps keep them busy while their parents are working, so it becomes a working parents' friend when kids are older. Making some SAHM vs working parent controversy over summer swim is stupid.  The VAST majority of parents in this area work at some point during their kids 10 years on the summer swim team.  Stop whining about how the world is discriminating against you figure out what works for you family. [/quote]
