[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you, OP. They should open the baby pool during the morning swim team practices and families with young kids would love it! Just one guard looking at the baby pool... how much could that cost?

My kids have done the swim team but I was really irritated at how late our pool opened when my kids were little.

Plus the swim parents make the place feel cliqueish.

I don't think OP is a crank. I think DCUM Swimming forum is just full of crazy swim team families![/quote]

There are no lifeguards during swim practice. The coaches are certified. Lifeguards don’t show up until 10:30 for the pool’s official open at 11. And it’s open until 9pm. Pretty typical for even a non-swim team pool.

Our pool actually offers lap swimming (with sign up times) from 6-7:30am (before swim team practice starts). I believe it’s a member of the pool board that comes and guards.

During the summer afternoons our pool sometimes rents to an nearby summer camp. Those kids don’t have to get out for adult swim, but all the other kids do. They kids of families who pay for the whole season—yes Swim teamers and non swim teamers. Is it fair? Eh. This is a case of “you can’t always get what you want”—join the pool board to have your voice be heard.[/quote]
