How much do you have to pay to be in a swim club?

Question

I was just wondering how much you have to spend to be in a swim club and be in a program with a coach to improve your swimming........

Being in tournaments and so and so...................I just want to know the average amount...and much you need to spend to be one of the best swimmers in the country

Answer 1

The club that I am going to join the price is 1,695 dollars for 11 months..

That is 3 times a week for 1hr 15 min.. You can go to meets, tournaments, etc, and the coach emphasizes  on stroke development..

At most clubs you can workout a payment plan over maybe 8 months with the coach..

Answer 2

on our team it sorta depends on your age and the amount of days you swim.

i swim 7 to 9 practices a week and pay $100 per month.

if you are around 12-16 and you only do 3/4 practices per week in a month then it is $50.

if you are 10 or under you practice 2 days a week then we charge $30 per month.

meats vary. you have to pay the coaches fee. and events usally cost 3 dollars per event and then you have to pay meet fees that are like $10.  

for me on a 3 day meet if usally cost about $50.

i don't know about the best swimmers but i hope that answers the rest of your questions

Answer 3

There are a lot of factors that go into that. Things like where you live, the size of the team, the reputation of the team, your ability and skill level.

Generally speaking, for a beginner (I'm assuming you'll be on a beginner team within the team) you can expect to pay around $25 to $35 a month. It could be a little more or less just depending on where you go.

As you progress and move up within your team (a typical team is broken into 3-5 smaller teams. They are different for different abilities) you will have longer practices and end up paying more. If you outgrow your team and look for a team with a better reputation then expect to pay more. About the highest I've heard is $125 a month, with an average of around $60-80 for top swimmers.

yeah dennis and snowboard bum both gave pretty much the same answer i would've given. Also remember though that almost all teams have a fundraising goal for each family so that is a very huge hassle as well.
