No public tax dollars support our operations. As a nonprofit, Old Town Hot Springs isnโt just a place to soak and stay active; itโs a hub for our community to recharge, grow, and connect.
Every donation helps ensure that OTHS remains accessible and welcoming to all. Your generosity fuels our vision and supports essential programs for aquatics, fitness, health and wellness, and giving back to the valley we love through donations and scholarships.

OUR 2025 IMPACT
With your support, we had a significant impact on our community last year. Read all about our work in our 2024 Impact Report and some highlights from this past year below.
In 2025, OTHS invested over $249K in community support, expanding access to health and wellness for 6,061 individuals. Scholarship awards rose 94% (400 total), and partnerships with local nonprofits grew by 23% (111 total), allowing us to reduce barriers and uplift more families across the Yampa Valley.
More children learned to swim at OTHS this year than ever before, with 3,272 swim lessons to date. With lesson participation more than doubling, a rapidly growing swim team, and 73 newly trained lifeguards, our aquatics team is building water safety skills to benefit everyone in our valley.
Fitness participation surged, with over 91,000 class visits and nearly 5,000 classes offered. With eight free programs and 158 donated classes/spaces, we continue to make movement accessible for all.
352,000+ member check-ins highlight the vital role OTHS plays in daily community life. From childcare to senior support, our team works to create a welcoming experience for all who walk through our doors.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM
We are deeply committed to uplifting the community that has always been at the heart of who we are. Our Community Support Program exists to further our mission and ensure that all members, regardless of financial status or circumstance, have access to quality health and wellness opportunities. Individuals and nonprofits are supported regularly through grants, scholarships, and donations. This includes free access to the facility and facility rentals, as well as providing free or discounted programming such as swim lessons and fitness instructions for our nonprofit partners and their clients.

The gym has allowed me to push my limits, build resilience, and work on becoming stronger. To me the gym is more than a physical place; Itโs where I find motivation and confidence that I carry. Especially during mountain biking. The gym has helped me break mental barriers I may put on myself allowing me to feel strong in my own skin.
We love the amazing wellness program that we have been able to run in cooperation with OTHS for the last few years. This support has provided an opportunity for individuals with lifelong disabilities to feel comfortable in the environment at OTHS, learn basic workout routines, learn the machines, and have a wonderful soak afterwards. The goal is that one day the clients will feel comfortable enough and have the skills to come and work out on their own to stay healthy. The program has already graduated two individuals who now love working out weekly on their own! I hope everyone at OTHS knows what a foundation of this community you are.
Swim Lesson & Swim Team Scholarship Opportunities
We are proud to be the only public swimming facility in Routt County, and in a community surrounded by rushing rivers and alpine lakes, access to water safety and swimming instruction is essential. Our Swim Scholarship ensures that all children, regardless of income or life circumstances, have the opportunity to learn to swim and participate in the Steamboat Springs Swim Team.
When making a donation, please specify if you would like your gift to support the SSST or Swim Lesson Scholarship Fund.
