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!
I pay $65/month. My team has coached workouts Monday-Saturday morning and Monday-Thursday evening. We also swim in one of the most awesome five lane pools ever built pre-1970.
Our coach has a light hand--she might point out stroke issues and she is more active in making such suggestions to more novice swimmers. She certainly doesn't loom over us to ensure we do the workouts she writes or anything like that (well, except on Saturdays which are our most intense workouts). She does write very good workouts which evidence a clear "plan" for training the competitive swimmers on our team for the various meet seasons as well as the hour swim. Plus she's a great person and she just makes me, at least, want to perform. "Coaching" masters swimmers is a very different undertaking than it is for age groupers.
