[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I wanted to ask the same thing.  Coaches would be working 4-5 hours in the morning before the pool opens and then come back and work 5 to 8 pm? We have two head coaches and six lane coaches in the morning.  I can't imagine being able to afford an evening cadre as well without doubling our fees.  Even as it stands now we have to do a LOT of fundraising to pay our coaches.[/quote]

Well, the SAH parents will just have have their fees doubled, I guess.   After all "working families" have spoken.  It's all about them.[/quote]

You’re assuming all parents work 9-5. This is why pools vary and reps determine the needs based on availability of the pool, costs and how many people would benefit from adjusting the schedule.

If my kid misses a soccer practice because my daughter has ballet at the same time, I don’t deduct a percentage of what’s due.[/quote]

So if your daughter's ballet constantly conflicts with soccer practice, do you "push" the soccer club to have a different practice time (even though the current time works for all the other parents on the team?)   Or do you drop soccer (or ballet?)[/quote]
