[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When things are "mandated" -- push back. If parents pushed back, rules would change eventually.[/quote]

Your kid will just be kicked off the team. Sure you could appeal to the board, I’ve never seen a pool without a large overlap between board and swim team thou. The majority of parents and kids like things the way they are. You could launch your revolution against concessions, but most people like the sunny-d and chic-fil-a [/quote]

Those things are raise a little money for the pool. [/quote]

Most swim teams charge very little given the amount of pool time and coaches and they NEED the things like concession stand to make funding to keep swim team more affordable.  Our pool people ask for the concessions but only a few families has stepped up to really do it so it isn't open much as there are only so many hours they can do.  What do parents expect for $100-200 for 8 weeks?  [/quote]

Not unnecessary things like swim-team exclusive events every week that require parent volunteers during work hours. I don't expect or need ribbons for 80 kids. I don't expect volunteer coordinators to treat the volunteers like crap from time to time or the martyrdom.  [/quote]
