[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the people who said it's weird that I resent swim teams... First of all, I didn't use that word. I admit it's a little bit of sour grapes because the one pool around here that has evening practices is way too expensive for us.

But the pool in the summer is an odd situation in that it'd be like paying to play on a grassy field but having the field over run with a big soccer team that's taking up tons of space, chanting, cheering, etc.  I pay a lot to use the pool but in June and July the pool is often closed for meets or half the pool is closed to non-team members in case the tesm kids want to practice.

I like that there are teams but I don't have to watch and be right next to other team's practices, rallies and parties. One reason we chose our pool is because there's a big area with other things to do like a playground and volleyball court. But during swim team season that area is roped off on a night every weekend for  loud swim team dinners and parties so my kids can't use it. That's annoying. [/quote]

So quit. [/quote]
