Q: I'm changing my location and wanted to join a local USMS team at the YMCA where I'm already member and swim there. THis was exciting! Until I tried to join. I was told that the fee for joining the Master's team at the YMCA is $1,000.00. I've belonged to two or three different USMS teams over the past decades and never have I been charged a fee like that! When I asked about it I was told by the person at the Y that this was 'normal'.
Is this a normal fee?
