The club that is running the 1500 scm meet is being charged $600 for four hours that should cover the meet, including warmups and downs. They are running six lanes with a warm up-down lanes on the end. There will be no electronic timing. It is an outdoor pool with no building costs. They will pay for a lifeguard for the four hours. I have been trying to talk up the meet and encourage both old and new swimmers to enter and swim but the opinion is that the $20.00 cost is too much. It is not an open water swim where you get a T-shirt, awards and ususally a drawing. If we want to encourage swimmers to enter their first meet, the cost should be reasonable. Ten at the most.
