[quote=Anonymous]Take a step back, because the pools can't win here: - with am swim only, or pm swim 2xs a week, they cut out families where both parents work, and/or those kids in the pm swim don't really improve in the overcrowded lanes - with pm swim, everyone else gets angry that they are taking up the pool when everyone else wants to use it after work, after camp, etc. We both work. When our kids were younger, they did the pm swim team. No, their times didn't improve tremendously, or maybe not at all, but it was a fun, social time for them. Even though they are strong athletes in other sports, they swam B meets. Again, very social and fun! Where else do all ages and genders cheer for your kid? And this may be specific to our pool with a swim team of 200, but nearly all the A meet swimmers are year-round swimmers, not summer swimmers. Looking back, I'd say summer swim was fun, rec-league sport for our kids, rather than club soccer/AAU, and that is ok![/quote]
