[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think any of the “fun” social volunteer slots should be filled until the slots required to host a meet are filled. Great there is a Friday morning pancake breakfast but timers are more important when running a swim meet.[/quote]

Personally I think the volunteer tasks should be stripped to a bare minimum. Only necessary ones like timing meets should count towards volunteer requirements. Kids dont need snacks, gift bags, pancake breakfasts, banquets. If someone wants to do that on their own time, fine. But dont pressure me into it.[/quote]

Does your team do senior speeches? These are the things that seniors cite as their favorite memories of swim team. It’s not just about the hours in the water and the meets. The extra things like pancake breakfasts and raft nights are the things that bring true joy to summer swim.

If this doesn’t jive with you, if the extras irritate you, then don’t sign your kids up for summer swim. It’s as simple as that. [/quote]

It is the "extras" that make summer swim special and fun for kids of all ages. Our older swimmers love when they turn 13 and get to cook the pancakes or time at the lollipop meet.
