Munhak Park Tae-hwan Aquatics Center is the official swimming pool for 2014 Incheon Asian Game. It was named after the Korean famous swimmer Park Tae-hwan who had won the gold medal for the first time in the 2008 Beijing Olympics for the first time.

When I pass through the Munhak Park Tae-hwan Aquatics Center, I was always wondering what the inside looks like.

And today, I got a chance to look inside the center, because there was the 4th national swimming competition.

I like swimming and I am doing a volunteer work as a coach for life guard, so I think this place would be a good place for me to teach after the Asian Game.

And I'm very excited to have a wonderful pool in Incheon.

I can't wait to swim in this center after the Asian Game.

This is the entrance. It looks not that clean though it's newly built.

Lastly this is the inside that I've wanted to see.

I think it will be very cold when it's winter.

But the diving pool was awesome.

I had to go very far to learn how to dive to Jamsil, Seoul and it was not easy for me before this center was built.

I liked the diving pool that is very big,

but the distance between swimming pool and diving pool was too close together.

There are lots of seats.

The swimming competition for Incheon Asian Game will be held here.

And this is the Munhak baseball stadium.

I could see this place when I was parking my car.

There was a match at 5 p.m but the cars were coming from 2 p.m.

"I hope it to be the best Asian Game!"

Tip 1. How to get to the Park Tae-hwan Aquatics Center from the Incheon airport

1. take the Arex subway from Incheon airport to Keyang(계양) station.

2. Transfer to Incheon subway line 1 at the Keyang station.

3. Get off at the Munhak Stadium station. (There will be an announcement in English)

(It takes about 1 hour and a half and costs about 3,800 won.)

*If you take a taxi from the airport, it would cost about 35,000 won and take 40 min.

Tip 2. Good places for shopping and meal near from Aquatics Center
