[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think our team is moving to a “volunteer or your kid doesn’t swim” model. Previously we had a fee model, but the fees weren’t high enough and the team reps were hesitant to make them higher.  There will be exceptions for folks who really can’t make it, but it’s unusual for a family to not be able to make Friday night or Saturday morning at all. (Mondays are tough for everyone).

I don’t work in the summer, so I volunteer a lot. I absolutely understand folks who have demanding jobs and have issues making events. Either because they are too damn tired, or because they are busy with work or their other kids or whatever, but there is also a pretty large group who just assume someone else will do it. That’s the group that tends to complain the most, and then also not help out….they are the ones who make everyone else mad.

I’ve been around swim team a long time, and the people who volunteer the most don’t complain much because they see how hard everyone is working. I get if you don’t like the model, but that’s what you are signing up for. [/quote]
