We wanted to take the opportunity to provide an update on our construction planning at Utah Olympic Park. UOLF is in the final stages of completing master plan amendments with Summit County and we have continued working with our construction partners diligently to evaluate and adjust the timeline and sequencing of both the hotel construction and the pool specific maintenance projects that affect the Freestyle Pool operations in order to minimize disruption as much as possible. As we mentioned in our update several months ago, both the larger development projects and the specific repairs to the pool are critical to the longevity of the pool functionality itself as well as to our continued effort to keep our facilities sustainable to 2034 and beyond. It will continue to be a balance of safety, functionality, and schedule impact as we navigate these next several years. We remain committed to making our best effort to minimize any disruption and communicate any anticipated changes as soon as they are confirmed but also minimize confusion by not messaging all the small adjustments along the way.
We are excited to announce that through our efforts and the effors of our construction partners to refine our plan we can confirm that Freestyle Pool operations will continue through Sunday, August 23, 2026 of this summer. This extension supports continuity in summer training schedules for both our development and elite athletes. It does however create a condensed construction window to complete the critical work on the filtration system and pool infrastructure. Our goal remains to complete this work and reopen the pool in spring 2027 with ideally no delay in opening. There are still many factors that could impact this but we are making every effort to meet a regular opening of the pool and will provide updates as the repair projects get under way at the end of the summer and construction progresses.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we balance high‑performance and development training needs with required capital improvements to the Freestyle Pool and our efforts to create the most vibrant and dynamic campus we can to support our athletic community for decades to come.
