[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes summer swim is designed for SAHP and kids not in camp. Yes you can make it work by going to camp late and some but not all practices during the week. It helps if you have a flexible job and boss. Yes working parents ate volunteering and making it work.

NP and it is shocking to me that this is still the set up for summer swim. It is the setup from back when I saw in the late 70s/80s.  Also back then, we were walking/riding bikes to and from the pool by ourselves in the early morning hours even when we were 7 and 8 years old. I recall going home to an empty house some mornings at that age because my mom had gone out to run errands and my older siblings went to summer jobs. Things have definitely changed.

I don't know that it's a universal thing that this has changed. Our pool has a rule that parents must be on deck for kids 8 and under, but many/most 9s and up are still walking/biking by themselves to practice. My kids sometimes come home to an empty house too because I go run errands. [/quote]
