[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow reading this thread - two different things jump out: lots of pride that summer swim is fully volunteer run. And that for many pools it’s not working.

For the pools where it’s not working - can’t a participation fee be charged? Similar to the fees families pay for their kids to play in a basketball or soccer league. 
Then the pool hires teens/adults interested in part time work. They already hire lifeguards, gate guards, snack window kids - add Saturday/Monday timers plus set up/clean up. Maybe these are lifeguards who want more hours. Or teens who aren’t lifeguard certified but would love to earn money at the pool. Or adults who wants a part-time summer gig. The payroll system is already in place.

Just an idea.

I think outsourcing the setup and cleanup would be great.  [/quote]

Realistically, you aren't going to get people who want a job lasting an hour at 7:00 a.m.    unless you pay a fortune.  [/quote]

We had a brilliant system for something similar when I was in med school. Everyone got assigned to transcribe lectures and if anyone didn’t show, their slot was auctioned off. And the no show had to pay, no matter how high the price was. I made a lot of money that way. Classes that required a lot of drawings/diagrams went especially high. [/quote]
