How many o you know what is paid to your coach/coaches for the season ?
Do you pay into a required fund for the team or a monthly pay or how does the team do it?
how much do you think the coach should make for the time & effort of practices -meets - meetings required to run the team?

There are a couple of Canadian clubs that were established and are run by their head coach, Technosport in Ottawa and Aurora in Ontario.
I believe that Aurora has age group and special olympics components, it is also a triathlon club, although I don't know if the triathletes train separately from the masters.
I don't think Technosport has an age group component but it is also a triathlon club and has a weight loss component.
I have no idea what the take home pay is for the coach/founder of either club but they are two of the largest clubs and have high participation in meets.
Quebec is different from the rest of the provinces in that almost all the masters clubs are associated with an age group club, I think there are only two or three exceptions.
From just talking to people informally it seems like a lot of Masters aren't getting the quality of coaching that they would like. Personally I learned far more from Bill Boomer's clinic in Middlebury than I have from the last couple of years of swimming with my club.
I would love to hear ideas on coach development! I think coaching is one of the major draws of masters swimming (relative to independent lap swimming) and I think there is an unmet demand for good coaching.
