Admission prices rise: swimmers in the West Palatinate have to dig deeper into the pocket!
swr reports that the admission prices in the indoor pools of the West Palatinate, especially in the PLUB in Pirmasens and in the Vitalbad Pfälzer Bergland in Kusel, have risen since the beginning of 2025. The increase can be attributed to increased operating costs that affect many swimming pools in the region. A concrete example: In the Vitalbad Kusel, the new 2-hour tariff for adults was set to 5 euros, while each hour started costs an additional 1 euro. The daily maximum rate in the vital bath is now 8 euros, which represents an increase of 1.50 euros compared to the previous year.
In the PLUB in Pirmasens, admission prices were even raised by about 20 percent. A ticket for 3 hours of swimming now costs 6 euros, which means an increase of one euro. In addition, other tariffs in the PLUB have become 50 to 60 cents more expensive. The price surcharge could also lead to further increases in the Azur leisure pool in Ramstein-Miesenbach and in the Felsland bathing paradise in Dahn. Both baths have not adapted their prices for several years, with the Azur leisure pool for 6 years and the Felsland Badparadies have even stayed at the same tariff level for 10 years.
reduced prices and memberships
In the indoor pools, special emphasis is placed on reduced prices that apply to children, young people up to 17 years old, severely disabled and owner of the volunteer card. In the Vitalbad Kusel, the earlier offer of early swimming is no longer necessary, which many regular customers should not like. The decision on further price increases is ultimately in the hands of the municipalities.Despite the price changes, some bathrooms stick to their tariffs. Admission prices remain unchanged in the Monte Mare leisure pool in Monte Mare in Kaiserslautern, in the bathing paradise in Zweibrücken and in the Kibo Bad in Kirchheimbolanden. In order to increase the number of visitors, Monte Mare relies on memberships.
price harmonization in Berlin space
At the bathroom tariffs in Berlin, as shown on berlinerbaeder.de , the prices are also staggered. There are different tariffs for different days of the week and times. The good morning tariff, for example, costs 3.50 euros, while the main tariff in the afternoon is 5.50 euros. Even in the Berlin surrounding area, generous discounts are intended for certain groups such as students and severely disabled people.
In general, the bathrooms have to deal with rising costs. Data from a survey of dgfdb.de show that the average costs for indoor pools with sports function are around 1.175 million euros per year. Despite these challenges, the number of visitors in 2022 remained stable, which indicates the continued interest in water -free time.
