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 don't think an hour is long enough, but this is certainly an option if that's the only way to make the $ numbers work, I suppose.
But you are a highly competitive distance swimmer, and you also may have more discretionary time than a lot of people who would or could join your team. For a lot of people, 90 min. is more time than they can or want to commit to a swim practice.
Our team offers several one-hour workouts in a row on weekdays. Most people do just one, but some people on some days do 1.5 or 2 if we can stay over without bothering the people who are there just for the next workout. That compromise seems to work.
