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!
Yeah, MVN is a great deal and it's a nice pool. Maybe I should just move to Orange County :)
We're looking at paying around $80/hour just to rent the pool then we'll need to pay a coach on top of that. So for a 90 minute workout the total cost will be somewhere around $150. It's a six-lane pool, so with four to a lane that's $6.25 per person. Based on this I'm concluding that many teams must pay much, much less to rent their pools!
Kirk, I know our main pool a few years ago charged $14 per hour per lane. I'm sure it's gone up to at least $18 now. So My team rents 5 lanes for 90 min $135 per morning session (based on $18 guess). That's just for the pool. Then we have 2 coaches on deck. This is for my age group team but would apply to the masters team that practices there as well.
