I am interested in the fees other organizations charge to be members of their team. I am very interested in YMCA's (YWCA), but would greatly appriecate information from any club...I need lots of data.
Is there a fee to swim at your facility, besides the Masters fee?
What is it?
Is there a fee to swim on the team?
What is it?
And finally, are your swimmers required to pay their masters registration?
Thanks in advance!

I do not swim at a Y, but belong to rec center which has age group swimming and masters swimming. To swim on team, you must be member of rec which is 250/yr, and then the masters swim team fee is 140 for Sept thru March, which consist of 3 practices a week with coach. Throw in the USMS dues, the meet dues I swim at, and few speedos and accesories and here I thought this sport would have been cheaper than my other passion,golf.

Pacific Masters dues from about 1991 to 2002 was $25.00. USMS increased the national part of the dues $5.00 starting in 2003. Pacific Masters annual dues starting November 1, 2002 is $30.00. A great bargain.

I'm assuming you are comparing apples to apples here...
If you are getting a golf club membership, three golf practices a week with a golf coach and regularly getting to play in golf tournaments (and throwing in golf equipment), all for less than you spend on swimming then I need to move to your neck of the woods.

I swim with the Kansas City Blazers Masters program which is sponsored by the Johnson County, Kansas, Parks & Recreation District.
We have four, 90-minute coached workouts per week.
We purchase punch cards. A punch card is good for 15 workouts and costs $55.00 (winter) and $65.00 (summer). This works out to $3.66 per workout (winter). It's nice because we only pay for the workouts we attend. If someone were to actually attend every practice, it works out to be $58.56 per month (winter).
