[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading most of this thread I was wondering how many weeks of practice you get at NCAP and other clubs for these prices. I don't see actual calendars on these websites. Like when it actually starts and how many weeks are off for winter break etc ...

Also how much are the US swimming fees? Does NCAP include them in the registration dues?[/quote]
The USA swimming fees are included for NCAP. The fees that really start to add up that are not included are the meet entry fees. A swimmer doing a full lineup of events is often looking at $80-$100 in entry fees at a meet. My kid swam in 13-14 meets this year so that was an extra $1k in meet entry fees (and that’s not including travel for the meets that require a hotel, etc.).[/quote]

Woah. I didn't realize the meet fees were that much. Is that per stroke or for the whole meet? Do you get anything or is it just to swim?[/quote]
Yup. Using 14 and under champs as the example, every swimmer starts with a $10 surcharge just for being entered in the meet. Then each individual event your swimmer is entered in costs $12.50 (there are relay entry fees as well but the club pays for those, the relay swimmers aren’t responsible for those fees). So if your swimmer was in the maximum 6 individual events your meet fees were $85. That’s the baseline cost of competing in the meet. [/quote]
