Our club currently does not ask people to pay a drop in fee if they want to come out and see if masters is a good fit for them.
Curious what would be fair ($10-$20 is my idea) and if you feel it is a good idea or not.
If you are member of USMS, that means you are paying fees to your club and any visit to another USMS club will be covered by their liability insurance. Another club asking you to pay for a visit is rude.I love it when I get in a free workout, but it's not rude: the clubs have to pay for many things beyond liability, not the least of which are for pool space and paying the coaches!
Bottom line, if you are on a USMS team, almost every other team will welcome you as a visitor without any fee.In my experience, many clubs will not make you pay a drop-in fee, but most clubs will.
