[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, $6100 in dmv is expensive. We paid $5.5k in ny for our 10 year old, and that was in 2015. Cannot imagine what it costs now.

You can complain about the cost, but as long as people are willing to pay for it, they won’t miss your son. I appreciate that he is a top swimmer, but unless he is Luka Mijatovic caliber, he is just one swimmer out of hundreds. And your argument that top swimmers are being priced out doesn’t make sense - all swimmers who can’t afford $6k a year are being priced out, and no club is going to charge less for groups that practice more than others.

Older swimmers and swimmers in top groups are already being subsidized by younger swimmer and lower groups, anyway. You can fit more 9-10 year olds swimmers in a lane than 15-16 year olds, so the groups can be bigger. The travel fees for the coaches to go to sectionals, futures, jr nationals etc, are borne by the entire team, not just by the kids who qualify. Much of the equipment that the team buys - backstroke wedges, wearable swim data monitors, tethers, drag socks, dryland equipment, are mostly used by older swimmers. The younger swimmers are the engine that keep the club running.[/quote]
