[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s cut to the chase: how much do you spend on club swimming on a per practice basis, annually?

I’m interested because I feel like we getting ripped off, especially since the coaches aren’t exactly coaching the kids at meets and practice.  Kids show up and do the sets and get very little stroke feedback.  Swim at meets but gets zero coaching there.

I’ve worked it out and we are paying around 40 dollars per practice.

And go!

This really depends on where you live and how old your kids are. But mostly geography. In ny, we paid $42 a practice for my then 10 year old. Plus an average of $20 per practice in transportation costs because some of the pools were not accessible by train. The cost was due to limited pool space and time in a big city and wages for employees who were commuting in from the outer boroughs or nj.

We are now in a smaller town out west, and now we have two kids - 12 and 15 in swim. The older one is $7 per practice and the younger one is $8 per practice (older one has higher dues, but goes more often).

The economics are not quite as good but still great for club soccer - we are paying about 30% of dues here vs ny. And for private school, we are sending two kids for less than the tuition of one at our old school.
