I was that kid, like your kid -- I quickly gave up on asking to do stuff like pricey field trips or outside-of-school classes, 'cause I knew my parents didn't have the money. But they did keep me in new clothes and school supplies, and I was never hungry, and I was in a bunch of school clubs and activities (that didn't cost anything or much). And I turned out alright. So if your kid can't have $300 swimming, so what? After all, while you shouldn't starve your kids, you don't have to give them every single thing they want, either, and that doesn't make you a bad mom at all.
yeah, don't worry so much, please. the rightest thing you can give your children in this circumstances is sense of self-reliance and strong will to achieve goals by themselves, and that's a great treasure, quite rare nowadays. and the happy-childhood thing is provided by sense of mutual support in many respects, i believe (at least, it is essential). so please cheer up and don't lose heart. and, btw, postcrossing, are you still in?
