[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer swim practice is easiest for kids who have a stay at home parents. Otherwise practice starts around 8 or 10 am and then what for childcare for the little ones?

No true.  Working parents can make do it too.  If you have more than 1 kids, it is easier and cheaper to get a college student as a summer nanny that pay for a summer camps all summer.  Nanny share is also an option, All the kids in our neighborhood stay at the pool and play after practice. [/quote]

This is a huge hassle for a kid’s activity. Some of us, like me, didn’t grow up with summer swim so this is just another activity.  It’s so much easier to enroll in camp.

I have a job with a month off in the summer and could have made it work. My kids never wanted to get up early day to swim laps in cold or cool water. The pool was a place they wanted to go splash around and have fun at in the evenings. When they were little, I encouraged them to join the swim team fle the social activities but neither were ever interested.  Now that my youngest is in upper elementary, it’s her idea of hell to be at a pool at 8am every day of summer break.  [/quote]
