I'm curious how much everyone pays to swim on a monthly basis. The team I used to swim with had to stop due to the University of Washington swim team being cut. We were getting both our pool time and coaches from them. However, the pool is still operating, but now under the intramural department. We're trying to regroup and rent the pool from them, but may need to revise the fee structure.
I'll put up a poll in case anyone wishes to remain anonymous, but I'd really like to know how much you pay per month and how many practice sessions per week that amount gives you access to. Also, please mention if there are any one-time or annual fees to be a member of the team, etc. Another useful piece of info would be how much your pool rental is, if you know. Thanks for your help!

In Brazil, away from big cities such as São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, where a swimming pool at a health club might cost a lot. I pay around 60 equivalent dollars a month and that includes a coach (who is paid with parts of that fee) three times a week for one hour Tue,Wed and Thursdays. My fee allows me to swim any time I wish to, unless all lanes are taken up for other classes. The pool opens on Saturdays mornings, never on Sundays. It is partially heated, but not covered. At practice I usually share one lane with another guy, sometimes we have three and circle. Most in our group are older masters but the coach allows for the slower or older doing 75s instead of 100s when possible. I think I pay little for what I get. billy fanstone
