If you swim for a team or club what are your facilities?
what types of difficulties do you face..practice time, pool temp, etc?
how do the swimmers handle these changes?
how does the club communicate changes and do they offer make up times etc?
do you pay annually or monthly?

I swim with a workout group Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings from 7:30-8:30. We workout at the local college's pool which is really very nice and a good temperature for swimming. We pay $5 a practice, or 10 practices for $40, and it doesn't expire. Some people come once a week and get 10 weeks out of that, I go to every practice so I get 3 weeks (plus one day). There are no makeups, and there is only one coach so if she goes out of town, there is no practice. We do not have access to the pool at any other times, because you're supposed to be a student or staff/faculty at the college to use it.
Other days that I want to swim, I swim at the YWCA. It's also $5 per use (on a punch pass of 15 uses that never expires). The pool is therapeutic, AKA HOT, and the lifeguards don't keep floaters/noodlers out of the lap lanes. It can be crowded or it can be completely deserted depending on what day/time you go.
