University of Kentucky Football Alum Bob Shehan Builds Pool for New UK Football Training Center

Shehan’s new plunge pool is yet another diamond in the Shehan creation and design catalogue.

University of Kentucky alumnus Bob Shehan of SP Construction, LLC, the award-winning global leader in exquisitely crafted pools and aquatic environments, recently enhanced the University of Kentucky’s (UK) new Football Training Facility with a cold plunge pool (cryotherapy pool), which was unveiled to the public on July 21, 2016.

Designed to reduce muscle inflammation and pain after exercise and speed up recovery time, the cold plunge pool is the fourth Shehan pool in place at the university. It measures 10 ft. x 40 ft., has room for up to 40 players, is always kept at 52 degrees and is essential to the post-practice recovery process.

“We’ve come a long way from the stainless steel tubs of the past”

The Shehan cold plunge pool is an integral part of the new $45 million Kentucky Football Training Facility, which was unveiled to players on July 21, 2016 after 19 months of construction. Located adjacent to Commonwealth Stadium and the Nutter Field House, the facility features training areas, weight room space, a hydrotherapy room, a nutrition bar and much more. The public is urged to tour the center and the new cold plunge pool at no cost on UK’s Football Fan Day, August 6, 2016.
