[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because my child is the swimmer. I am not. I have many other things to do. [/quote] So who do you suggest sets up a team, manages registration, sets a budget and collects fees, hires the coaches, does the timing, judging, data entry, and on and on? Summer swim teams aren’t businesses that are asking you to volunteer your time like some other sports leagues might be. Summer swim teams are facilitated and managed by volunteers, working parents just like you. You’re resenting other volunteers for asking you to volunteer. If no one volunteered, there would be no summer swim. If you’re uncomfortable with that model, then don’t participate or come up with a different solution and take ownership of implementing it. You can’t expect the existing volunteers to implement your proposed changes if your position is that people shouldn’t have to provide all this free labor to summer swim. Why is it okay for them to provide this free labor but not you?[/quote]
