[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] However, I think the moCo and nova teams have been around since the 70s at least? maybe 50's???Drive through any of the older neighborhoods around the beltway and all have pools/teams. The older families in our neighborhood all had 5 kids each  in the 60s/70s- they tell us at community events! What do you think kids did all day back then but hang out at the pool. I am thinking this is where it came from.[/quote]

This rings true in our area and pool. Part of the tension that folks feel and hear about is that the pace of the short intense season is tough to swing in households with two parents working standard office hours. There's been quite a swing in work habits between the 60s/70s. Whether that's a good or bad thing is surely a topic for other threads, but at this point in swim season, many of us are ready to be done.

DH and one DC really really dig swim team. Other DC and I are, at best, neutral. I do the minimum amount of volunteering for swim; DH does more. But even so, we sort of check the box on swim team but up our game in other activities. [/quote]
