Cost of competitive swimming

There is no arguing the fact that the most consistant source of income for swimming facilities is from swim teams and swim lessons. Cris Moler of Parks & Recreation magazine states that, "Believe me, we have heard it all. But the reality is a well-organized competitive swim program can impact your bottom line in positive nature and provide a host of other benefits to your aquatic program." These competitive teams provide a steady income for pools by using lanes that may go unused otherwise. Most teams practice 11 months a year, and pools charge approximatly $4.00 to $10.00 per lane per hour. These costs can add up quicly with the use of multiple lanes for several hours. These fees come in on a regular basis, and are even boosted if meets or events are held at the pool.
