Old Town Hot Springs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We’ve served as the Yampa Valley’s recreation center since 1935, all at no cost to the City or the County. No public tax dollars support our operations. Every donation we receive 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.
OTHS is proud to partner with Youth Sports Giving Day, a statewide movement to break down barriers, expand access, and ensure every child has the chance to play, grow, and thrive through sports.
The Steamboat Springs Swim Team (SSST) is a year-round, USA Swimming program operated by OTHS. We provide opportunities for athletes ages 6–18, from recreational swimmers to competitive athletes, fostering a lifelong love of swimming.
Your gift supports all aspects of the Steamboat Springs Swim Team, helping create opportunities for young athletes to learn, grow, compete, and thrive in the water. From reducing financial barriers to participation through Swim Scholarships to providing the equipment, coaching, training, and experiences that help athletes reach their goals, every gift helps strengthen the SSST program and the opportunities it provides to our community.
This year marks an exciting milestone for SSST as we host our first officially sanctioned competitive swim meet in our newly renovated facility. This annual destination swim meet brings athletes and families to Steamboat while creating lasting benefits for our local economy and community.
More than $1.5 million in matching and incentive funds will help boost every dollar donated. The incentive funds are unlocked on 9/1 at 6 pm. New this year, donations made through a donor-advised fund (DAF), IRA rollover or wire transfer will unlock its own dollar-for-dollar match. Once those match funds are exhausted, every remaining gift made online is matched at a percentage rate through the Incentive Fund, through September 15.
When you support SSST, you’re helping kids build skills, friendships, and resilience that last a lifetime. Your generosity opens the doors for all youth to experience the power of sport.
With your support, we had a significant impact on our community last year. Read all about our work in our 2025 Impact Report and some highlights from this past year below.
Old Town Hot Springs is the non-profit center for health and wellness, providing recreation and education in aquatics and fitness for our members, guests, and community.
Old Town Hot Springs is a historic hot spring and family-friendly recreational facility in the heart of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We have been a site for recreation and rejuvenation in this community for over 100 years because of the gift of the Heart Spring. The swimming and soaking pools have been here in one form or another for over a century, first serving as a gathering and bathing place for the Ute Indians who first settled in this area. The Ute Indians knew them as “medicine” springs, frequenting them for sacred physical and spiritual healing. Later it was most likely a social and bathing place for the first homesteaders. We are lucky to have the famous Heart Spring, the source of all the healing mineral water in our eight pools.
Old Town Hot Springs has grown and improved over the years into a multi-use complex that serves as a health and wellness center for Steamboat Springs' community and visitors. We offer recreational and educational opportunities in aquatics and fitness for all ages. In addition to our hot soaking pools, our amenities include an 8-lane lap pool with diving board, community pool, kiddie splash pool, an aquatic climbing wall, two 225-foot water slides, massage therapy, childcare, and a fitness center with classes, cardio equipment, and a weight room.
In the spirit of Steamboat Springs' recreation and relaxation needs, in 2019, we completed Phase 1 of our It’s In the Water Capital Campaign, expanding our facility by 15,000 square feet. This addition included a community room with a kitchen for healthy living programs and CPR/First Aid training, a 48-foot climbing wall, dedicated spin and functional training rooms, new guest locker rooms, Steamboat’s only indoor walking track, expanded weight and cardio areas, and an additional studio for group exercise and fitness programming. In 2025, we completed Phase 2 of the project which included a new pump house, competitive 8-lane lap pool with diving board, community pool, kiddie splash pool, and hot pool for swimming, soaking, programs, and recreation. Old Town Hot Springs continues to grow and improve to meet the needs of this community and to serve our mission.
