[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 shrimpers and a baby and a husband that works in another state so I truly cannot volunteer at meets but I guarantee you I donate more money than any other family.[/quote]

That would be fine at our pool. It is volunteer or pay. You have two choices. [/quote]

Our Little League has the same rule, I might add. This is hardly unique to swimming. [/quote]

NP here and curious how this works- paying to not volunteer. If everyone paid instead of volunteering, would that mean your pool would hire people to time and all the other tasks involved with running a meet?

Our Little League also allowed you to pay instead of volunteering, but the volunteer needs were about staffing the concession stand and tryouts and pre/post-season field maintenance. Each team was responsible for running the scoreboard and lining the fields for each game and that was where families really either stepped up or didn’t. These duties were decoupled from the volunteer fee. [/quote]
