Well, if you see no value to what the team offers, you may as well.
Why should you be paying only $55 to have access to 25 rather cushy workouts a week, when some 10-year old's parents have to pay $120 for the same thing, and have to volunteer or pay another $500? To swim in the same lane with another 15 kids.
I think what you *should* be ashamed of is that your own coach struggles to make a living so your fees wouldn't go up to what the kids pay. While he has to pay the same higher fees and do his own volunteering for the team on top of working there so his own kids can swim.
A very accurate picture of age group swimming and the parents who support it!
