[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]

I truly love the people complaining that summer swim is elitist while suggesting changes that would requiring tripling the fees.[/quote]
