[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they don’t offer it, [b]you need to push your team to have later afternoon practices for pre-team/full team as an option[/b].  Carpooling, too, and you do pick up if that’s still too early.  There are ways to do it, and summer swim was great fun for our kids.[/quote]

This would be a nonstarter at many/most pools. They aren’t going to shut down the pool to general membership at the busiest time of day.[/quote]

It’s a smaller group that needs the evening session and you can get by with using a few lanes. Our pool is big so using a few lanes a few nights a week is NBD. But it would depend on the pool size. [/quote]

Question.  Are your coaches now coaching both morning and evening?  That is a lot of hours.  Or do your head coaches only do morning.  That would be a tremendous cost to do both.[/quote]

Yeah. I can’t imagine a coach wanting to take this on. Morning and evening practice every weekday? Then weekend meets? It sounds like they would need to hire extra people and it wouldn’t be cost effective except for the largest of teams.

I think working parents need to let some stuff go. There’s so much FOMO that you’re trying to make something intended to fill unused morning pool time into an evening activity. Accept that you can’t participate in every activity that SAH can facilitate and move on. Find a camp with daily swimming. It’s the same thing.
