At the 2023 Annual General Meeting, the Executive Board was asked to consider adjusting the membership fees.

The reason for this is that most of the volunteer technical team have reached retirement age and will only be able to carry out lighter work at the outdoor pool in future. “For this reason, we will have to award contracts for renovation work to companies,” says Chairman Klaus Schürmanns. In addition, the pool association will contribute to the operating costs (approx. 250,000 euros excluding personnel costs) of the outdoor pool for the first time. Schürmanns: “Given the tight budget situation of the town of Kevelaer, we also want to make our contribution to maintaining the outdoor pool in this way.” Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The annual membership fee for adults will increase from 25 to 35 euros, for children and young people (up to the age of 15) from 20 to 25 euros and for families from 50 to 70 euros. Members of the pool association receive free admission to the outdoor pool during the four-month season. The increase in fees as of January 1, 2025 was unanimously approved by the general meeting.
