[quote=Anonymous]When we had a toddler and a swimmer we would pick things that could be done before/after the meet. I still prefer setup at 7 am. I then go back to get my swimmers or my H brings them. I did clean up with another parent who had a toddler with them a few weeks ago. The toddler “helped” take the lane numbers off. Clean up is a really quick job and can be done while keeping an eye on a kid. Fundraising/getting sponsors is another thing that can be accomplished with emails after kids are in bed at night. It boils down to whether you WANT to contribute and be part of the team or if you believe that your kid is entitled to a place on the team because you paid the fees. Whining that you can’t volunteer for this reason or that simply means that summer swim isn’t for your family right now. We have a bunch of families with 4/5 kids of which 3/4 are swimmers. Oddly, those are not the families trying to get out of volunteering. [/quote]
