[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure they are poaching them? We're in an area with one already high division pool and another that is trying to move up. People switch pools all the time. But the [i]biggest[/i] reason I have heard of is that one pool in particular is just way more fun and has a huge group of kids from the nearest elementary school. People switch for their friends, even if it means driving a couple neighborhoods over.[/quote]

We asked the exiting families why they left and they said team reps of the new pool reached out to them first or they had an existing relationship with one of the team reps who would try to sell a better pool, more activities, etc. Totally understand people switch pools for various reasons but would expect them to drive those decisions, and not team reps reaching out to them first.

Well, often "team reps" are other volunteer parents they know socially and would be talking to about this stuff anyway.

It's just summer fun swimming, so I don't know why it really matters. Let people go to the pool they want to go to.[/quote]
