I have been the paid masters coach at our Y for a couple years, and my supervisor wanted to know if this was an anomaly or not. So I am hoping you guys can help me with the following poll. To make it reasonably comparable to our situation, please respond only if your team has at least 10 or so masters swimmers. (Teams with fewer probably do the coaching on an ad hoc basis.)
If the masters club charges an extra fee perhaps you can consider making commission part of your pay.
In my case members pay an extra $25 per month in addition to club membership for masters. Part of my pay is a percentage of those fees.
It might make things easier since you can easily point and say that well, the club brings in X amoutn and only (some percentage) will be used to pay me. It also gives an incentive for you to help the club grow.
If there is no fee for masters at you rclub well then that's out the door.
