A new training facility has been created for the golden generation of swimming in Korea.
At 11:30 a.m. on the 9th, the Korean Sports Council held a ceremony to commemorate the reopening of the national athletes' village swimming center at Jincheon National Training Center. More than 60 people attended the ceremony, including Yoo Seung Min, president of the Korean Sports Council, Kim Taek-soo, president of Jincheon Training Village, Lee Seong-bok, vice chairman of the Korean Swimming Federation, Maeng Ho-seung, president of the Korean Triathlon Association, Pi Bong-seok, vice chairman of the Korean Modern Pentathlon Federation, and national athletes and leaders in swimming. World-class swimming national representatives such as Hwang Sun-woo and Lee Ju-ho showed their improved training environment through type, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly demonstrations.
This project changed the depth of the management pool from 2m to 3m in line with the trend of international competitions, and introduced Myrtha Pool, an eco-friendly dry construction company, with a total budget of 5.5 billion won. Multerpool is an eco-friendly dry tank using Italian materials that has been used at the Olympics and World Swimming Championships for more than 30 years. The new swimming center, which began construction in September last year immediately after the Paris Olympics and was completed on April 25 this year, will allow national teams to train in an environment similar to that of international competitions ahead of the Singapore World Championships next month. In addition, the additional cooling system is designed to maintain stable summer swimming pool temperatures without a separate cooling device by utilizing the low temperature of the water supply supplied through the existing underground piping. Significant results are expected in ESG management, such as energy reduction and carbon emission reduction, while maintaining a constant water temperature in the summer to increase the efficiency of national training.
