[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simple supply and demand plus parents able and willing to pay whatever the clubs want to charge. Just another rich kid sport now.

Yes, just think about how these exorbitant prices are making all the swim coaches and club owners so rich. [/quote]
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm, but the money isn’t trickling down to coaches. It’s a second job for most.  (I’m a parent not a coach.)
Club owners do likely turn a nice profit, but plenty of posters have laid out that expenses are exorbitant to run a club. Margins can’t be great. [/quote]

It’s sarcasm.  If you’re running a business in which margins aren’t great, you’re not reinvesting in infrastructure, core employees are working a second job, and the owners aren’t getting rich, then you aren’t charging exorbitant prices.

When a business charges too much and still sells out of its product, the “overcharged” revenue has to go somewhere, usually into the owners pockets.  [/quote]
