[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer swim. The community over years of both kids and parents. I feel like it’s how I’ve watched the kids of my neighborhood grow up. [/quote]

Have heard others say this too but swim team is such a clique at our pool. And the schedule is almost impossible for working parents unless you have a nanny.[/quote]

+same. You're only welcomed if you're good enough to help the team but not threaten the individual results of the best swimmers. I thought the atmosphere was toxic. I made my kids do it for just 2 years to solidify their swimming skills, but they begged me to stop, which I agreed to eventually.[/quote]

Exact same. I found swim team really cliquey and even a bit toxic- made it 2 years but my kids haaaated every minute of it so we stopped.  [/quote]

I agree that as a parent it can be hard to break in socially as a lot of the families have known each other for multiple summers and the kids become right.  We met and made a lot of friends through swim team once we as parents started to get more involved and volunteer.  My kids love love love summer swim and are already counting down the days until the pool opens [/quote]
