It will cost more to swim at Baer Memorial Swimming Pool in Lehighton next year.

Borough council voted 4-0 Monday to raise prices.

Recreation director Tom Evans said daily admission for adults next year will increase from $7 to $10, while families will see a $30 rise. Child admission will remain at $5.

The pool is limited to Carbon County residents.

Evans said the Baer Memorial increase was “Due to cost of wages going up, cost of chemicals, electric. Daily hasn’t increased in 15 years since I’ve been there.”

Council members Joe Flickinger, Darryl Arner and Lisa Perry were absent.
