[quote=Anonymous]Our pool typically has about 180 kid on swim team. I think there are a number of reasons summer swim has died down since the 80s. 1. As others have mentioned, more 2 working parent households. With practices from 7:30-noon and many kids going to camp this means a lot of kids can't do swim team. It takes commitment to swim team for parents to decided to hire a sitter instead of camp so kids can do swim team. We made this move once we had 2 school-aged kids. 2. Kids specializing in sports early on. When I was a kid in the 80s there weren't spots that ran all summer long. We lose a lot of swim team kids around age 11 to sports like baseball and lacrosse.
