Pukyong National University Opens Campus Sports Facilities... Pilot Swimming, Golf, and Yoga Programs From March

Pukyong National University (President Bae Sanghoon) will open its campus sports facilities to the public.

Pukyong National University announced on February 14 that, as a national university, it will conduct a pilot operation to open its sports facilities from March in order to fulfill its social responsibilities and expand mutually beneficial cooperation with the local community.

Pukyong National University will first open high-demand training programs in swimming, golf, and yoga. Until now, the university's sports facilities have been used for liberal arts and major classes, training courses for members of the university, club activities, and commissioned education projects.

To ensure that the opening of the facilities does not interfere with students' classes, the university will gradually offer training programs for local residents during idle hours such as early mornings, evenings, and Saturday afternoons.

The swimming classes will be offered in early-morning sessions (6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.), evening sessions (6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.), and weekend sessions (1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.). Weekday classes will be held five times a week (Monday to Friday), and weekend classes once a week (Saturday). There will be a total of nine classes, each with a capacity of 24 participants.

The golf classes will be offered twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) in evening sessions (6:30 p.m. to 8:20 p.m.) and will open when at least four people apply. The yoga classes will be offered three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) in evening sessions (6:30 p.m. to 8:20 p.m.), with a capacity of 25 participants.

To ensure stable and safe facility access, the university plans to assign professional staff and establish a user support service system for registration, payment, and entry management, thereby building a systematic operational foundation.

Shin Jongdae, Director of the Sports Promotion Institute at the university, said, "We expect that expanding access to these sports facilities will strengthen the public role of the national university and serve as an opportunity to further enhance mutually beneficial cooperation with the local community. We will continue to work to expand opportunities for local residents to participate in everyday sports and to contribute to improving public health."

Pukyong National University plans to identify and address shortcomings through the pilot operation of the open sports facilities from March to May, and then begin full-scale official operation from June to expand access and promote active use. Details such as how to apply for the training programs and specific operation schedules can be found on the website of the Sports Promotion Institute at Pukyong National University.
