[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]well, it's damn near impossible to get a membership to the pool in our community.  Plus, the investment just isn't worth it for the amount of time we can actually spend there.  It's a bit of a shame, because a lot of my kid's friends are on the swim team.  But, it really would only be worth the trouble if I were a SAHM, which I am not.[/quote]

Why? Our kids use it with their nanny and friends' moms and nannies during the week, and the whole family uses it on weekends, at night. Fun especially over Fourth of July.[/quote]

hahaha - yeah, nannies.  some of us can't afford those.  She goes to the lowest cost camps we can find during the week - which come out to about $150/week. She could go with friends in the evenings, but we've not been invited yet.  We do have a neighborhood friend with a backyard pool, so we went there a couple times this summer.  We can go to the county pools and water parks on weekends if we want.  We miss the planned community we used to live in where we paid $40 for all of us to have access to 12 pools in the summer, which WAS worth the money.

I do hope at some point, her friends might start inviting her.  That is how I got to go to the pool in the summer when I was younger - my parents never had a membership or a pool.  Until then, we have a sprinkler and a small pool in the backyard that she and her little friend next door splash around in.

Will you pay the guest fee for your daughter to go? We pay for each friend to go once; if we invite the same friend more than once, we ask the parents to pay the guest fee.[/quote]
