[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swimteam and summer pool are cheapest activities around if you are tightening your belt (esp. if you've already paid the membership and are just looking at summer fees). 2 income families have been dealing with summer swim team way before COVID when we were all in the office. I doubt RTO is having that big of an impact. Neighborhood demographics may be impacting swim team size just as much as the economy and RTO.[/quote]

It doesn’t seem like the cheapest option to me when both parents are working. Sure, it’s cheaper than spending the summer in provence, but pool membership fee + summer swim fee + babysitter fees + time off work to volunteer all adds up. Especially the babysitter. Alternatively, parents could work and drop their kids off at full day camp for less money. [/quote]

Our team is $130 per kid. We would be pool members without swim team so that cost doesn’t count. 
I’m sharing a nanny with a neighbor whose kids are also on swim team and paying $405 per kid, per week. That below the average camp cost with extended hours to 5/5:30pm. Bonus - I don’t have to drive my kids all over Arlington twice a day or pack lunches. [/quote]
