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?
I have never really come across too many masters groups that could pay for themselves. I see plenty of groups that have about 20 regular swimmers, each paying $50-$60/month - so, you are looking at a group bringing in $1000-$1200/month total from memberships. Take away pool and other costs, I don't see much left for coach pay. If a master's coach makes over $500/month I would consider them lucky.
Occasionally, a age group swim program can subsidize a master's program...generally if that age group club is pretty large.
