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).

I wish people would stop complaining about the free things given to their kids. We gave some of these out too and heard nothing but excitement and positive comments. It's also a bonus for kids with any one of the plethora of food allergies who probably can't eat 75% of what they bring home anyway.
