[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, let's see...we're in MoCo.

Aquatots at age 2-3
Beginner 1 for the better part of a year
Beginner 2 ditto
Beginner 3 for about 6 months
2 seasons of Stroke and Turn
2 seasons of SwiMontgomery
1.5 years of developmental winter swim
5 seasons of summer team
1 season of winter club

DC, now 12, can race summer A meets in all 4 strokes depending on the team's needs, and posts alowly improving times year-round (-not- fast: still chasing BB - or slower - in very best strokes at very best moments).

What I like best is that DC considers swimming to be an integral and healthy part of life, and right now plans to swim noncompetitively probably through HS (and definitely on summer team).  It has been a good journey to teach perseverance, commitment, and steady progress.  Plus DC, though very social, is not a team-sports person, so this is a great fit.  It was worth it.[/quote]

What was worth it? OP asked for an amount. [/quote]

Same poster...working it out.

Probably $700ish for county lessons
$800ish for Stroke and Turn
$600ish for SwiMontgomery
$1000ish for developmental winter swim
$700 over the years for summer team
$1200 for winter club

So over the course of 10 years the roughest rough cut to date would be maybe $5000 or perhaps as far up as $6000?  So call it $50 per month from age 2 onwards.  But this is now DC's main/only sport, although DC is clearly a committed rec swimmer.[/quote]
