[quote=Anonymous]here is the other thing about summer swim- with so many schools getting out so late, and NVSL having moved the season up a few years ago you are really talking about 4 weeks of morning practice for summer swim. Maybe 5 weeks if your kids swim in divisionals. Maybe only 3 weeks if you are at an Arlington pool and your pool isn't starting morning practice until June 23rd. You don't have to manage this for the entire summer- you need to manage it for 4 weeks. So take a week off for week 1, let your kids enjoy being out of school, hanging at the pool etc. Week 2 and 3 maybe hire a teen. Week 4- see how summer swim is going. If kids are highly motivated and doing great, get them up early and go to the early morning practice before camp. If they are not having a great season, blow off that last week of practice. Or get together with other parents in similar situations. Each agree to take a week where they will take kids to practice, drop them off at camp, and then go to work late. Obviously there are lots of permutations of this- you have to figure out what works for you- but there is a way to make it work if you want to. [/quote]
