Thank you for all of your support!

The NAU Center for High Altitude Training
has been closed due to the university's budget reduction.

Since 1968, Flagstaff has hosted elite endurance athletes for training,
seeking an altitude environment in which to prepare for the Olympic
Games.  We're proud to have been one of the world's leading altitude
training resources and will regret the loss of this world-class training
environment.   We send our sincere appreciation to the Flagstaff
community and to the students, faculty, and staff at Northern Arizona
University for their support.

Since its opening in 1994, the Center has hosted elite athletes from
around the world, helping them to achieve their performance goals.

  • Elite athletes training through the Center have won 213 Olympic
    and Paralympic medals since the 1996 Games in Atlanta.

  • Since 1994, the Center hosted more than 6,000 team
    members from 4 countries in 16 different sports.

 

The Wall Aquatic Center remains open.

Interested elite swimming teams are invited to continue to train at the
Wall Aquatic Center at Northern Arizona University. For more information,
please send and email to wallaquaticcenter@nau.edu.
