[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm just defending volunteer coordinators here.  I work full time, don't even particularly like swimming and just want people to show up and do the job they signed up for.  I'm so exhausted from managing my kids, our enormous swim team and my actual job.  [b]Sorry I couldn't be there to pay you on the back.  Feel free to take over my role and then you all can comment[b]. [/quote]

Thanks for being Exhibit A for what OP was talking about.[/quote]

Volunteering isn't the welcome committee. There are certain people who are in charge of social events and those are mainly for the kids but also include the parents. We have family relays and things like this. I just don't really understand the issue that this mom has. If she just stays on the team for 2-3 years and is nice and hangs out at the pool regularly she will have a ton of friends. She needs to stop trying to make friendships happen like the adults are going to create some swim buddy system for her and just let them happen organically. [/quote]
