[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swimming comes across as so elitist. The expensive pay-to-play model is bad enough but then you have forced volunteering or an expensive payout? I can't see how my mom would have been able to handle that. I'm now married to a successful college swimmer and it is funny that she is the one who isn't interested in being involved in the toxic competitive swim culture. [/quote]

Most summer swim families are middle class. If you think the middle class is elitist, OK.

Middle class do not belong to private pools. [/quote]

It’s 2023 not 1960. It’s not elitist to join a community pool. It’s more elitist to have your own pool. [/quote]

Yes, but real middle class cannot afford $700-1K or living in an HOA community.  Be real.  They go swim at the county pools.[/quote]

Are you from the DMV area?

Median household income is around $130,000 for Fairfax county which has most of the pools in the NVSL. They can afford $600-700 membership fee.
