Our club recently raised its rates on an annualized basis from $1200 to $1800. :cry: This is a swimming fee only. Workout equipment and other amenities are not available. Proactive coaching has been nonexistent and often we get a workout and a lifeguard. This will likely have a severe impact on our team numbers, if it doesn't end the program.
We have available to us eight 75 minute practices per week. We are planning on approaching the board of directors of the club, so we are trying to get an idea of what other US Masters team participants pay.
Please describe your fees and services as briefly as possible and participate in the poll attached to this thread if I can figure out how to do that.
Thanks.

Similiar to Gkami - regular family Y membership about $800.00 a year, but no masters coach :shakeshead: - we were to have one but she spent more time with the age group kids, we were to have two practices a week but it came down to 2 maybe a month sporadic becuase they changed the times so many times. There are only one or two designated master swim times, but most of us just rotate through the lap swim times. I would love a coach, having never swum competitively before- I am sure I am making mucho errors. So I read read read all your postings, and take workouts from mag's and posting.I keep dreaming I will find a coach and pay for some private lessons.
But $1,800 a year Ouch no way cant do it. Too many opther fees to be paid, my daughter's soccer team (UNDEFEATED THIS SEASON :cheerleader: ) runs about $125.00 in fees a season, piano lessions are 9 for $420.00, and private school tutition,:doh: So,there is little extra money for mommy's stuff.
