It's not like they're paying for swimming, anyway. Their parents do. And as a parent, if my kid got a free swimming coupon I'd be annoyed. Now they want me to take them swimming and we're super busy as is and I don't really want to flap around in some nasty cesspool anyway.
Of all the coupons you gave out, a very low percentage of them will be used, and of the ones that aren't used, 100% of those kids will be disappointed while the parents feel guilty.
Wish people would just stick to candy/toys (like the glowsticks).

Yes, how devastating to get a coupon instead of your 29th mini box of Smarties
