[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they don’t offer it, [b]you need to push your team to have later afternoon practices for pre-team/full team as an option[/b].  Carpooling, too, and you do pick up if that’s still too early.  There are ways to do it, and summer swim was great fun for our kids.[/quote]

This would be a nonstarter at many/most pools. They aren’t going to shut down the pool to general membership at the busiest time of day.[/quote]

It’s a smaller group that needs the evening session and you can get by with using a few lanes. Our pool is big so using a few lanes a few nights a week is NBD. But it would depend on the pool size. [/quote]

Question.  Are your coaches now coaching both morning and evening?  That is a lot of hours.  Or do your head coaches only do morning.  That would be a tremendous cost to do both.[/quote]

Yes - but they don't coach every evening shift.  Usually they agree to each work one evening shift a week.  The cost is not an issue because we are getting [b]pool membership fees [/b]and swim team revenues that cover it.[/quote]

Wait.  Pool membership fees go to the swim team?  They are not separate financial groups?  If the pool was helping to pay then it would be easier to have practice during the evening.  I would not mind having evening practices (a lane or two) for our younger swimmers 8&U with some in water coaching.  Our issues is we have way too many swimmers.  So we have issues with not enough lanes (even in morning practice).[/quote]
