AKARTA: The national badminton training camp in Cipayung, east of Jakarta, now has a new Rp 3.5 billion (US$388,500) swimming pool.
The 13x40-meter pool was completed in June last year. A smaller 4x6-meter jacuzzi pool and a 4x8-meter changing room accompany the main pool, which is located adjascent to the entrance gate of the 3.7-hectare camp.
“We will continue to support the Indonesian Badminton Association [PBSI], as badminton is our country’s main sports. I heard that water therapy is important for maintaining the fitness of our shuttlers, thus we decided to fund the construction of this pool,” Youth and Sports Affairs Minister Andi Malarangeng said on Wednesday’s opening of the facility. The PBSI is also planning to build its own running track.
