Swimming Pool and Fitness Center at Jeju Janghaein Sports Center to Fully Operate Starting June

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced on the 8th that the swimming pool and fitness center within the Jeju Disabled Sports Center will be fully operational starting from June.

Since the opening of the Disabled Sports Center in December last year, the gymnasium has been operating normally for disabled sports activities, but the swimming pool and fitness center initially hired safety personnel in January this year, who resigned due to personal reasons, and the recruitment process is currently underway again.

They plan to promptly hire a total of 11 people, including one general employee level 9 (facility), four indefinite contract workers (1 center operation, 1 fitness center, 2 reception desk), and six fixed-term workers (4 swimming pool safety personnel, 2 environmental staff), to ensure normal operation by June.

Additionally, the Disabled Physical Fitness Certification Center, supported by 65 million KRW from the National Sports Promotion Fund and physical fitness measurement equipment selected through the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's public contest earlier this year, will begin operation in August.

The Disabled Physical Fitness Certification Center will be staffed with two health exercise managers and two physical fitness testers. Based on physical fitness measurements for each disabled individual, evaluations and exercise prescriptions can be provided, and various programs such as lifestyle sports classes and club connections will be operated to support a customized exercise system.

Ko Chun-hwa, Director of the Culture, Sports and External Cooperation Bureau of Jeju Province, said, “We plan to discover and support various programs at the Disabled Sports Center and open them not only to disabled people but also to local residents. We expect that the operation of the Disabled Physical Fitness Certification Center will greatly help rehabilitation sports through customized exercise prescriptions tailored to each disabled person's basic physical fitness.”
