[quote=Anonymous]We used to be at a pool with one pool and yes, it was like this.  We are now at a pool with two pools, so this isn't an issue.  The swim team takes over the lap pool (yes both morning and afternoon) and during meets one pool is available for other members.

My kids participate in swim team and I get it that people find it overwhelming and obnoxious.  They moved the teams Friday pep rallies to a different part on the property so that other members can enjoy the pool and grounds on a Friday.  It's not too much to ask.  The vast majority of members are NOT on the swim team.  I don't get the comment about how the swim team is subsidizing the pool either.  The team makes money to support itself by charging a fee to join, concessions, and fund raisers and then keeps the money to pay for its activities.  They are not subsidizing anything.  The teams are a lot of work for the manager of the pool and staff.

I would talk to someone at the Board on your pool although beware swim team parents often stack the Board to be sure their interests are protected.  But you should speak up.[/quote]
