Club questions

If you swim for a team or club what are your facilities? We rent space in the indoors season from the county rec centers. In the summer, we rent from the local private neighborhood pools. what types of difficulties do you face..practice time, pool temp, etc? Temperatures are all right, except for one of the pools. The biggest difficulty is that we are squeezed for the amount of lanes we can rent. The county always has lap swimming available to the public, and that is their first priority. So, we are swimming 7 to a 25-yd lane sometimes to give the public lappers one (maybe 2) to a lane lane. how do the swimmers handle these changes? What changes? Nothing changes. Swimmers accept the crowded conditions during popular times. Other workout times, there is space. Some swimmers have switched to less popular workout times. how does the club communicate changes and do they offer make up times etc? You mean cancellations? They rarely happen. Snowstorms and biohazard closures happen from time to time. They are out of our control, and swimmers accept it. The county refunds our $ if the pool closes. We send out an email blast for last minute changes, and for reminders if the cancellation is known ahead of time. do you pay annually or monthly? Neither. We pay seasonally. Sept-Jan / Feb-May / June-Aug. We have 14 workouts a week, and you can attend any at any of the 3 or 4 pools. Our philosophy is that everyone buys into the program and shares the cost of the coach/pool, so all are available. You use it as you want to. (We do have a reduced rate for averaging one swim per week, and prorate fees if starting in the middle of a season. We also have a one month fee for new members who want to try it out before deciding to commit and continue) We accept checks or online credit card payments using our Paypal account.
