(KAIR)--The Memorial Day Holiday weekend traditionally serves as the opening for Atchison's Municipal Lions Pool, and this year is no exception, with the swimming season to begin Saturday with the seasonal opening of the pool.

On Monday, the pool was a topic of discussion for the Atchison City Commission, with some fees increased for the new swimming season.

That followed a presentation by Atchison City Manager Mark Westhoff, who explained the rate increases do not affect general admission prices.

Following Westhoff's explanation, the Commission unanimously approved the new fees which, in part, increase the private party rental rates by $25.

When the pool opens Saturday, it will be free admission for the day.

Pool hours for the season will be 1 to 6:30 pm everyday, with evening hours Tuesdays and Thursdays. Swimming lessons will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings.

According to the City's Lions Pool fee schedule, there is no pool admission charge for those two and under; a one-dollar daily entrance fee for those three and older; private parties for fewer than 125 guests will cost $150 per hour; private parties of more than 125 people will be $275 per hour; admission to the swimming lessons program will be $35 per student; and a 10 day punch pass will cost $9.
