to not pay for swimming lessons

[oldandgreynow]

I have 4 children between 5 and 15 who all want to do activities and classes.It costs enough to pay for the stuff they want to do without the school expecting me to pay for swimming lessons they don't..It works out at £4 each per week for my 2 primary school aged children and I resent the school committing me to paying for this.They both swim as well as they want to!Would I be unreasonable to tell the school that i want to save my money to pay for activities they enjoy?

Swimming lessons are not included in our school budget so we need parental funding to run them. It works out at 75p per lesson (qualified teacher). Some parents feel that is exorbitant.
