The Northern Lehigh Recreation Authority announced the 2025 season will mark its final year managing and operating the Northern Lehigh Swimming Pool in Slatington.

Beginning in 2026, the Northern Lehigh Swimming Pool Association will resume full operational responsibilities for the facility.

Since 2023, the NLRA has operated the Northern Lehigh Pool at the request of the NLSPA, which had determined it lacked the time and resources to manage the facility. During the NLRA’s tenure, the pool experienced two highly successful seasons with increased community engagement and participation.

“We are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished over the past two years,” said Kasey Meixsell, executive director of NLRA. “Our commitment to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community was at the heart of every decision we made, and we are grateful to have been entrusted with this beloved local resource.”

The NLSPA, which has retained property ownership of the pool throughout its history, has decided to take on operational management starting in 2026. The organization has expressed its readiness to resume these responsibilities and is eager to build upon the strong foundation established by the NLRA.

The NLRA will ensure the 2025 season is a memorable and successful conclusion to its role in managing the pool. Plans are already underway to offer a variety of programs and events that celebrate the community and its connection to this cherished facility.

The NLRA extends its gratitude to the NLSPA, the pool’s patrons, and the greater Northern Lehigh community for their unwavering support and enthusiasm.

While the NLRA’s chapter with the pool will close after this summer, its dedication to enhancing recreational opportunities for the region will remain steadfast.
