[quote=Anonymous]Summer swim team seems like such a relic of the 70-90s at this point. Who can make that schedule work without a SAHP, or a very involved grandparent who is in good enough health and lives nearby enough to take the kids every morning? Back when we were kids (assuming most on here are older Millennials or mid range or younger Gen X) many families had a SAHM, lived near grandparents, or mom worked part time/evenings, or worked for the schools and had summers off. Now most families have two big careers and two relatively equal income earners. Our pool is desperate for kids to join the swim team every year and I can see the decrease in size of the team over time vs. the old team pictures from the 90s, even as pool membership has stayed pretty high.
