How much do you pay for Masters?

[emsumm]

I just started, it seems really expensive but I love it.

[kams]

I get a 16 practice card for $80, so $5/practice

[emsumm]

Yeah, kams, mine is double that :/

[kams]

Ooooh ouch . Is there a way you could do 1 masters swim/week, and then ~2 more on your own?

Yeah, that's my plan.  I'm feeling bitter about it, though.  I loved going 3 times this week
The old coach used to let everyone come 3 times per week for the $10, but now they're cracking down and saying you can only come once for the same price.  Le suck.

Ahhhh bummer . Once a week will mean it stays super fun for a really long time!!!  

I got really lucky with my masters for awhile too...he always "accidentally lost track" of how many workouts we did, and so we always got a few freebies. Now the club is onto it, I think! Busted!

I bet the coach will at least give me the workouts.

I'm going to take a private lesson with her.  I need to learn how to butterfly.  Oh, and apparently my breast stroke was 100% wrong.  Fast, but WRONG.  Lol.

[kams]

Oh wow, that is no joke! All 4 strokes! I haven't done butterfly in 15+ years! That's awesome. Over time, too, you'll accumulate more ideas about workouts, and you'll be able to write your own really easily.

So...I totes thought the post was about grad school and was all 'where is kams going to grad school for $16 and wtf is a practice card? Is that a professional certificate or something?'

The dumb is strong in ebeth this afternoon.

Lol lol lol, I don't think one hour of one class cost me $80 when I was working on my (grad school) masters!

[katandkevin]

Mine is $50 a month. You can go to as many masters practices as you want for that price.

[mrs.jacinthe]

$57 a month, unlimited practices.

[emilyj]

We are affiliated with my university, so we pay per semester. For faculty, it works out to $30/month, unlimited practices. Students pay less.

[trigal]

I'm jealous of you all who have a masters program! I'm on my own with the swimming training.

[Susie]

My masters group is pretty casual, but it's free. We are all members of the Y, so we pay for that, but the workouts don't cost anything. There's usually about 4-5 of us on any given day.
