Everybody in the Pool! NPUST Relaunches Aquatic Games

The NPUST Aquatic Games, which have been suspended for the past four years due first to the epidemic and then to swimming pool renovations, were re-launched this year (2024) on May 22nd. The games included 50-meter freestyle and breaststroke competitions, with a special “field day” type race organized for the opening event. More than 300 faculty members, staff, and students enthusiastically participated in the games—having a great time together in a spirit of friendly competition.

NPUST President Chin-Lung Chang and Physical Education Office Director Hsiu-Ching Lin attended the opening ceremony and cheered on the participating teachers and students. NPUST continuously works to foster a spirit of health, vitality and cooperation and will continue to promote the vigorous development of campus sports activities in the future, so that all her teachers and students can find happiness and a sense of achievement on this beautiful campus.

President Chin-Lung Chang said that the school spent 6 million NTD to comprehensively renovate the swimming pool and provide a safer and more comfortable environment. This year’s Aquatic Games returned with strong support from students and faculty. The great turnout made clear that there is a lot of enthusiasm for water sports amongst teachers and students at the school, and all the contestants were sincerely welcomed to enjoy the competitive process, strive for good results, and have a wonderful time on campus together.
