[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP. This was our summer swim team experience at our old pool as well. The pool overall was super friendly, but the swim team parents were not welcoming to new people at all. It was the same group of parents whose multiple kids have swum together for years, and it was just extremely cliquish.  [/quote]

Do what I do...embrace it. I go in with a mug of coffee, sit in the back, ignore all the parents, watch the swimming, grab my kid, and leave. It's fantastic!
And in my club you can volunteer to bring food instead of having to do a job, so that makes it even easier. [/quote]

New to swim team and having a similar experience as OP. I have decided to do snacks similar to PP and see if my kid enjoys swim team before deciding what to do next summer[/quote]

I've had kids doing swim for years, and that's all we expect from new parents. Enjoy your kid and hopefully they'll have enough fun to stick around. Once they decide to, then start stepping up a little bit more. Timing is really easy and a good way to break in. [/quote]
