[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not feeling as together as last year but I think people were more motivated and excited about new changes. My real job has also ticked up. Registration has been slow though. [/quote]

I’m on the club board and our team rep also says that team registration has been slow, and lower at this point than recent years. Overall, new club memberships are also down compared to recent years.

Our team rep is elected to the board. I don’t ever recall much drama. It’s pretty smooth.[/quote]

I know a few people not doing summer swim this year because of RTO. Kind of a bummer. [/quote]

RTO?
All I can think of is relay take-off.[/quote]
I’m assuming pp means return to office [/quote]

Ah! Thanks. We didn't even think of that.

What did they do before when they weren't working from home? [/quote]

We didn’t put the kids on swim team.  Only started in 2020 and was able to keep doing it up until now when every company suddenly mandated RTO. So likely will not be able to continue. Sad for us and the kids. [/quote]

Our team hasn't seen a bump in registrations since 2020. If anything it has remained flat or even dropped a bit.[/quote]

Same. We have long waitlists for membership at our club- probably the longest in 7-8 years- but registrations for swim and dive have been lower every year since 2020. The current 9-10 cohort will always be anemic because they missed mini team and a lot of them missed lessons and they filled their summers with other things.

Our current crop of 4-5 year olds is huge, though, so it will be interesting to see if they get involved in swim and dive in the years to come. I can't get a read on the younger parents. They're enthusiastic now when it's 1x/week lessons (our pool gets a bubble for the winter) and they can sit and chat with each other, but I'm not sure if they'll still be excited when they they're being asked to fight weekday traffic at 3:45 pm for summer swim meet volunteering.[/quote]

PP that you quoted here.
We are nowhere near having a waitlist. Memberships have increased slightly over the past few years, but we are usually 80-100 memberships short of having a waitlist.[/quote]
