[quote=Anonymous]There should be a happy medium somewhere. My kids have been on swim team since 2018. We’ve been pool members since 2012.

In that time there are 2 or 3 home A meets - depending on the year. Pool opens an hour late on those days (12 vs 11). Same for B meets either 2 of 5 or 3 of 5 meets at home. Pool closes at 5:00 those Wednesdays.

Evening swim team is restricted to 2 lanes and only for kids who work or in camp that week. You cannot miss morning practice bc you slept in etc and come at night. Space is ltd. People respect this. We have approximately 200 kids on the team.

Pep rallies are held after practice on Friday b/f the pool opens. Never seen a bull horn but that would annoy me since the pool sits the middle of our neighborhood.

I’ve been on both sides having team members and not. There are ways to respect everyone’s needs.

I am getting pretty tired of the recent phenomenon of people not picking up after their kids when they leave though. Doubtful those are swim team parents based on the toddler food items and the fact that any parent whose had to do set up for a B meet would never leave their trash for someone else to cleanup.
