For us on week days it was timing. We would get home from work and be ready to go to the pool by 5.15 or 5.30. We used to eat dinner around 6.30 so unless we ate at the pool we would only get to stay for 45 minutes or so. We don’t eat at the pool on week days so much now the kids got to bed later, as we can just have a later dinner when we get home.

On the weekends we often eat at the pool with our groups of friends, maybe have a beer or a wine and grill while the kids play and swim. [/quote]

Same for us.  This summer, my elementary kids will have swim team from 5:30 - 6:30pm.  My preschooler isn't doing swim team yet, so he and I and DH will swim and hang out while the older ones have practice.  It's easier for me to pack a picnic during the day (which I can do during work breaks, since I'm still WFH full-time) than to either have them eat dinner at home at either 4:45pm (and still be hungry after practice) or 7pm.  This way, they can eat as soon as practice is over, swim for a little more if they want, and be home and in bed by 8pm.  Win-win.  [/quote]
