https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/1903/swim-coach-meet-compensationHi, Yes, I know this should maybe go in the coaches forum but I think more people will see it and respond to it here. I&#39;m a member of a rather large team which offers 20 coached workouts a week. Our four paid coaches share coaching duty.

Paying any employee a sum less than minimum wage could lead to serious problems and liabilities. You should consult, sooner rather than later, with an Oregon lawyer who can gather the necessary information from you to provide your organization with sound advice. carl botterud<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/9207?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 16 Oct 2003 15:21:27 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:6ab82447-a0cb-48d1-b235-6ff26780a4d4Former MemberI don&#39;t know about other coaches, but I found out that, approximately what our coach gets paid, and it just makes me cringe. He is so nice and always there for us, and , and works for what I would consider peanuts, something a person can&#39;t use to support a family. I&#39;m not on the board of the team, or anything like that... bit I&#39;ve though once or twice about starting a petition to send a request to the board to give him a raise, even if it meant increase in dues for me. Not only that, but over the last couple of years, due to his efforts, our master&#39;s team has grown from 30 to 115 members, and offers 23 workouts a week, and he tends to ALL of them. Honestly, I don&#39;t know how the guy holds it all together, and stays so nice all the time.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
