Just under $14 per practice at 7 swims per week.

We were RMSC NTG and I felt it was very reasonably priced for the # of practices and the level of competition. Plus meet fees were included.

Do you mind sharing which location? Because we are with NCAP and pay much more for much less.
One of the suburban VA locations.

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!
Which club and what age/age group?
middle school aged, twice a week

About $1200 per DC per winter season total, two different clubs. 2-3 practices per week.

We now live outside of the DMV so pay much less than we used to. Swim costs $154 per month. That's 5 practices per week that are 1 hour 45 minutes long for a 13 year old girl. No practice groups on any team in this area do more than 5 practices per week and early morning practices aren't a thing.

Now my 11yo is just doing stroke and turn because she’s gone off club swim but wants to stay in shape for summer swim.
We do PAC too. It is now $135/month for kids 13y and older and those in levels 5/6. Kids can swim 3-6 days/week. My kid swim 3 days/week - so roughly $11/practice. We've done 3 different clubs and this one meets our price point/flexibility given he isn't a serious swimmer.

I could look up different clubs but I would like to poll the dcum swim community.

That is pretty typical about the coaching. You can look up on different clubs websites and some list the price.
