I am wandering what the normal monthly rate is for a masters program is. My program currently runs 5 days a week and I charge 30 dollars a month. I am looking to up the price, does anyone have any input? What do you charge? What is your schedule? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
It will also depend on the quality of coaching and the facilities, as well as how many lanes you get, but that's a pretty reasonable rate.
There has been at least one other thread on this topic, too lazy to search for it now...
I pay $250 a year. Our team has access to a five lane pool (all five lanes) from 6:30-8 Monday - Friday. Every Wed. we have a coach, all the other days there is a workout that is written by one of the members of the team.
I pay something like $20/mo just to be a member of the pool. Masters workouts are very informal and there is no coach. I think the group in Huntsville, charges $40-$45/month but they are coached and the pool is much bigger.
My program currently runs 5 days a week and I charge 30 dollars a month.
I think that's an absolute steal.
The masters team I (used to?) swim with charged $65 per month for three 1.5 hour workouts per week. There was also a $25 per year membership fee.
The USA Swimming club I'm swimming with right now charges $165/month for the workout group I'm in. Add onto that a yearly membership fee of $110 and a fundraising fee of $150. This gives me access to 11 workouts per week, but obviously I'm not swimming quite that much!
I know you'll probably want to hunt me with your torch and pitchforks, but our masters group charge a big fat $0.00 to swim with the team. So from my point of view...$30 a month is a lot! :D Just kidding, it's pretty cheap from what I've heard. We have no cost to use the high school (6 lane SCY) pool during the school year (Mon thru Friday 5-7am), and our surplus money from our swim meet in the year is used for lane rental in the summertime at the outdoor LCM pool.
I do pay $39 a month for Y membership and use the lap swim times when I can to either double up or make up a morning that was missed.
The team in the next city is $45 per month and they offer a choice of up to 4 coached workout times per weekday. The more local coached workout group is now $60 for 5 workouts a week (and 2 of those are 4.45pm!).

In my area, Villanova U charges roughly 50 a month for 5 Masters workouts(Tues and thurs 4PM start). But, I just swim there when I am in the area for 6 bucks a practice. 30 bucks a month is a steal epecially if the practices are in the early morning(5:30 to 6AM start) or early evening(after 5PM and so on).
My club in Pittsburgh runs 10 months for $450..that's 4 days a week for 1.5 hours, for the other two months another club offers outdoor at $200 a month
A big masters club around in $40 a month or $5 drop in with 3 morning swims and 2 PM swims offer(your best deal because they really have a great engaged coach)
Another club close by is $15 a month or $5 drop in for 4 days and 1.5 hours..
We seem expensive..but we are used as a fundraiser for the usa club because they won't even have a meet for us! I've tried repeatedly. And we are almost a masters heavy club.
I'm always amazed at how cheap some teams are. They must be getting really good deals (or free) pool time which is unheard of here. If you are paying less than $50/month to train with a coached team consider yourself really lucky.
The team I swam with in Kansas City used a punch card system. The card was good for 15 punches and cost $60.00. We wrote our names on our cards with permanent marker. We put them into a box on the pool deck and the coach punched them all while we swam. That team offered three morning workouts, three evening workouts, and a Saturday workout each week. The punch card system was especially nice for people who traveled and couldn't always get to the pool on a regular basis.
The team I swim with now (in Florida) charges $42.00 per month, automatically charged to my credit card. It offers morning workouts 5 days per week and evening workouts 4 days per week. There is also a choice of two Saturday morning workouts - one at the pool and one in the Gulf of Mexico.
