That said, yes, it sucks. I'm the only one in my family who doesn't get a summer break, and it does make ke grumpy sometimes! (DH is a professor, so has a lot of flexibility in when he does his research, but still isn't willing to sign on to summer swim; it would mean no full day camps at all.)

I'm impressed that you're figuring out a way to make it work, but I think you're making summer harder on yourself that it has to be. The reason you're the only one in work clothes is because the rest of us don't do summer swim team. We can't. It's not set up for working moms.

DH works European hours. He's up at 4 and works until 8 and then does the camp shuttles, doctors, shopping, cleaning, etc. He then works during the short time they are at camp and then picks them up at 3 and does dinner/evening activities. He even NAPS daily for an hour. I am utterly resentful and hate it.
