The $600 is usually not all the costs associated with the meet. Besides your volunteer costs, there are phone, awards - if any, and thank you gifts for meet officials to name a few extra. You mentioned a lifeguard has to be paid for, how much is that? All of these costs have to be spread among the participants.
Last year the Pacific Masters 1500 Short Course Meters Championships had 33 contestants which would make it real tough to make a profit on $10/contestant.
