[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. That’s normal. Join the swim team. [/quote]

I am not going to do that, but I was frankly embarrassed trying to meet up with friends who have toddlers to admit that basically we could swim for an hour or so before their kids needed to go home to nap or we could deal with the bullhorns. And we would not be able to get a table under shade until the swim team families decided to leave.[/quote]

Are these friends members? Or are you inviting people to join you at your club? If they are members they need to figure out how they want to deal with the situation. If they are not members, swim families have priority over them. I am guessing the swim families are supporting the financial health of the pool to a greater degree than non-swim club families. And I'm sure it is built in recruitment. Many clubs have struggled to keep membership up post Covid and need the money.[/quote]

What a terrible stance. OP is a member. The pool has too many swim practices and apparently some swim families are taking over.

It's clear there are a lot of swim families on this board who are selfish and don't care that they're pushing out other families from their pools, but come on. Exercise your basic politeness muscle. Share your facilitties. Don't spread out your stuff too much. Tell the kids to keep the noise down so you don't need the bullhorn that much.

It's all part of living in a society. [/quote]
