Yup here too re expensive, in fact more like $1500, but there are cheaper and they are well hidden. -our membership is $425 but you get rebates for work and introducing new members. new member family is $325. And the pool is 20 yards by 10 with a half-meter diving board. But everyone knows everyone. And there are 3 public outdoor pools, two of which have swim teams who compete in the summer league, and the third trains the high school swimmers who also swim for summer teams (mostly us, hurrah!).
