OGDEN — With the arrival of summer and the finishing touches in place, Ogden School District is opening a newly renovated swimming pool for a free community swim.
A grand opening for Ben Lomond High School’s swimming pool will take place at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, June 18, followed by free open swimming from 1-4 p.m., according to a statement from the school district.
The pool recently completed a 10-month, $5.1 million renovation and opened to swimmers in January. The grand opening event will be held “to thank the residents of Ogden for their support of pool renovations,” the statement said.

The new six-lane pool features a water slide, a shallow end ideal for small children and swim lessons, and more space on the deck, Zac Williams, spokesman for the district, told the Standard-Examiner in January.
The renovation also brought new locker and shower rooms, new bleachers and a new sound system, the statement said. The district says the pool will be used both for competitive swimming and as a family-friendly, community pool.
The Ben Lomond pool is located at 1080 Ninth St. During the summer, the pool is available for open swim from 1-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 1-4 p.m. Saturdays. Other pool hours and information are available on the school district’s pools website.
