[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read this with fascination.  We belong to a pool but my child has never done swim team.  Why?  Not because of the volunteer commitment, but because practices are on weekday mornings.  [b]Practice ends too late for her to go to camp[/b].  Even if I could find one that would take her late, she’d have to be transported mid morning.  I have to work, so that just never seemed feasible.  I know, I know, lots of people have more flexibility or can hire someone.  Totally get that.  What I don’t understand is how someone is able to manage the logistics of practices, but can’t figure out how to volunteer.  How can you manage practices and a whole day with a kid at home but not be able to work a meet?  [/quote]

How many camps does she go from mid-June to end of July? People either skip the whole week of practices or ask to move up to middle/high school practice time (7:30 AM) for that week.

Your kid doesn't have to join a swim team, but if you/she wants to, you can make it work.
