[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the person on a waitlist, it really depends on the pool! Many pools clear their waitlists within a year so do not lose hope! Or perhaps get a membership elsewhere until a spot opens up at your closest pool. [/quote]

This is true- Op of this thread and while I was on the 13 year waitlist I joined a neighborhood pool with no waitlist that was a 30 minute drive from my house (worth it to get the kids access to a pool, any pool when they were tiny), and then joined a 18 month waitlist for yet another pool that was slightly closer at 25 minutes but also has dive and tennis. We are very established at the second pool. So now that we are off the waitlist at pool 3, which is 8 minutes away but has no dive or tennis, the kids are going to use the 13 year waitlist pool for friend time and the distant pool for dive and tennis.

It is stupidly complicated.

My advice to anyone just starting out: buy that first house within a neighborhood with a no-waitlist pool that has an acceptable swim team at a minimum and don’t look back! Bonus points if it is walkable or bikeable. [/quote]
