[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing- its summer swim.  Do what works for your family.
If you have summer camps that the kids love that works for your schedule- and your kids don't especially like swim team- take  a year off.
If your family loves the swim team socials, but don't especially care about swimming- sign the kids up and attend when it works for you- if that means your kids don't practice after school gets out- that's okay.
If you want to be 'all in' for swim- then hire a teen for the weeks of swim team.  Maybe take a few weeks off as a staycation- you might really love this after having been in the office 5 days a week.  To take a couple weeks off at the beginning of the summer, when the kids are excited for summer and the pool, and spend time relaxing at the pool and getting stuff done around the house sounds fantastic.  
Most pools also have 'camper practice' options- either super early in the morning or a couple of late afternoons a week.  Personally the thought of trying to get kids up super early, and sitting at the pool in work clothes, then rushing them to camp sounds miserable to me.  I feel similarly about trying to get kids to go practice in the late afternoon when they are tired from a day at camp- but YMMV.   [/quote]

This!! I was a swimmer and my DD loves it so far so I take a couple of staycation weeks and hire a babysitter for the other weeks. Between that and the Fourth of July week, which my DH can usually telework, there is not that much to cover. The post-school season is really only about a month unless your kid is in Divisionals or All-Stars. But plenty of kids from our low division pool do camps. [/quote]
