[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8am practices don't work for us anymore and we ar3 tired of B meets.  Kid feels like it's a waste of time when he would rather sleep in [/quote]

B meets are one night of the week...

but I get it, swim team isn't for everyone. This is honestly why, as a team rep, I don't bend over backwards to accommodate every family. I figure if the kids and family care enough, as we did,  they will make it work. If they don't care they will make 100 excuses they they just can't do swim team.[/quote]

NP.  You're absolutely right- I know that our team reps are worried about volunteers for weeknight B meets though.  From what they say it has been a LOT easier to fill the early concessions and timer slots in recent years when more parents were teleworking.  I know I personally will be less likely to sign up for those this year because of RTO, and less likely to do sign up for extra jobs.  So it goes.[/quote]

The early time slots are always the most popular at our pool, and I don't see that changing this year. People will leave work early on Mondays to accommodate B meets. And yes, I know some feds can't right now. But a lot of people still can.[/quote]

That's good.  Our pool has a lot of Fed families so maybe a bit different.  Again, I heard this from our reps who have been around a while, I don't really know.  They can probably recruit some strong teens into setup at least.[/quote]
