I'm sorry but this is the millennial approach to the world.  "I don't like how things are done so they should completely revamp to meet my own family's personal desires."[/quote]

Versus your older generational approach to the world: inflexible when presented with change, no desire or openness to change or try a new way; make things so inefficient so you can't possibly break it because it creates job security[/quote]

I've been reading this entire thread and have yet to see an example of a change that doesn't fundamentally impact what summer swim is all about.
  
Getting rid of stuff like concessions, social functions, and banquets takes away the really fun parts which are especially important for those kids who aren't hard core swimmers but do summer swim because it IS fun.

Getting rid of timers and judges because it isn't necessary for your 7yr old takes away the validity of the competition for those kids and teams for whom that is important since it is, you know, a competitive sport.

Paying for all of these adults is an option - but that cheap summer swim experience becomes many many hundreds of dollars, taking it away from families for whom a $700 summer swim is cost prohibitive.[/quote]
