[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a first-year swim family, and I always volunteer, but I don't begrudge the people who don't. We have a lot of military families in our neighborhood, many of whom have one spouse with a very inflexible job and multiple little kids. My four year old definitely can't just hang out at the pool deck while I time so I do get that. [b]And I don't think activities should just be reserved for families with the ability to volunteer. [/b]Swim is already restrictive enough with practices that don't work for a working parent's schedule... [/quote] Well, some pools let people pay their way out of volunteering, so that's an option. If an activity is run by parent volunteers, and you can't volunteer, your kid can't do the activitiy. Its a requirement to participate. Why should some be able to free-load off the efforts of everyone else?[/quote]
