[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's unfair of me, but I resent the major focus on swim teams around here.  Most of the teams meet in the morning (and most mornings of the week) so my young kids can't be on the team since it conflicts with the camps they attend while I'm at work.  Anyway, my complaint is that at our pool and the others near here it's hard for kids to make friends and not feel like an outsider if they're not on the swim team.

Last night we enjoyed hanging at the pool but it was dominated by a big group of probably 20 kids swimming and goofing off together and it was obvious by their jokes and conversations that they all know each other from the team.  I wish there were more social events at our pool for kids that didn't revolve around the team.  We all pay the same amount to enjoy the pool and it's atmosphere.

My friend brags that at her pool, the swim team kids act like a fraternity & sorority.  She thinks that's fun.  I think that's unfortunate.  [/quote]

It seems strange to "resent" swim teams![/quote]
