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 45/month. thats the cost to swim with the masters program on my team. they train M-F 5:30-7 (or somewhere there abouts). I swim with the club team in the national level group, whose dues normally run 125/month. I think i get a pretty sweet deal.
I assume the poll was not including meet fees though? I run up a tab on meet fees swimming in 8-10 usa meets a year.
Our team gives a discount if our kids are part of the age group team. Makes it about $25 per month for 7 work outs a week. For me, Master's swimming is easily the best deal going. I can't even get access to a pool for that little, let alone get a coached work out from some of the best master's coaches in the country.

Our team really just got organized this month. As a member of the fitness center I pay $20 a month for four coached practices. I think non-members pay $35. No annual fee either. Very reasonable!!

That's a smoking deal.
Although, I've got it pretty darn good with Sun Devil Masters with access to something like 30 workouts across 4 different pools, 2 on the ASU campus and 2 in Scottsdale for $60 per month. Realistically that breaks down to 3 workouts a day per weekday in either Tempe or north Scottsdale plus a workout on Saturday (though the times are such that you could do a double on Saturday between the two cities).

Wow, what a nice deal.
We must join the park district for $ 195 / yr ,then it's $35 for the team. Our coach does not take any pay. I collect from the team for a gift at the end of the season.
Master's MWF coached 75 minute practice: $35/month (15-20 minutes away)
Tolls to get to Master's pool: $24/month
Lifetime solo: $50/month (5 minutes away at 4:30am)
I think we are MWF because the coach doesn't want to get up at 4am more often than that. At that pool, there isn't an issue of pool space.
