[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they don’t offer it, [b]you need to push your team to have later afternoon practices for pre-team/full team as an option[/b].  Carpooling, too, and you do pick up if that’s still too early.  There are ways to do it, and summer swim was great fun for our kids.[/quote]

This would be a nonstarter at many/most pools. They aren’t going to shut down the pool to general membership at the busiest time of day.[/quote]

It’s a smaller group that needs the evening session and you can get by with using a few lanes. Our pool is big so using a few lanes a few nights a week is NBD. But it would depend on the pool size. [/quote]

Question.  Are your coaches now coaching both morning and evening?  That is a lot of hours.  Or do your head coaches only do morning.  That would be a tremendous cost to do both.[/quote]

I wanted to ask the same thing.  Coaches would be working 4-5 hours in the morning before the pool opens and then come back and work 5 to 8 pm? We have two head coaches and six lane coaches in the morning.  I can't imagine being able to afford an evening cadre as well without doubling our fees.  Even as it stands now we have to do a LOT of fundraising to pay our coaches.[/quote]

Well, the SAH parents will just have have their fees doubled, I guess.   After all "working families" have spoken.  It's all about them.[/quote]

No - swim team costs the same.  You have 150 kids on your team paying.  I have 175 paying because I have 25 doing the evening that you lost by not offering evening.  And the fees from the extra 20 cover the extra money for evening coaching.[/quote]
