I think this facility was probably the one I stayed at during my summer club training camp when I was in high school.I think we stayed together at several other schools as well. (separate room)I didn't really get along with the kids from other schools, but I remember very well that there was one kid who was extremely tall.The main practice of the training camp was at Hashimoto's track and field stadium, and I remember taking morning walks and practicing there as well.I believe we did a pushcart during morning practice, but I had to do it with a tall girl, and I'm about 173cm tall, but that girl was of course taller, so it was really hard because of the difference in body size. I remember it vividly.I think I also swam in the pool, but unfortunately, I was there for a club training camp, so I didn't have the time or freedom to enjoy the facility.In the first place, I was supposed to leave in the morning and come back in the evening, so I only stayed here for the night.Now that I think about it, I think it may have been a nuisance for the person in charge of this facility and the people involved...?Originally, I think they wanted to provide rooms to sleep in for people who would use this facility more...And yet, there are several high schools where they do their main work elsewhere and then come back here only to sleep...This training camp was held the following year, but instead of staying at this facility, we stayed at a certain high school.Maybe he was turned down by this facility...Now that I think about it, I wish I had enjoyed this facility more.When I was watching videos of this year's World Athletics Championships, I was reminded of this training camp and this facility.I didn't remember the name of this facility at all, but I thought it was around here from Hashimoto's athletics stadium, and I also remembered that it had a pool, so I was able to find it.I will post it as a commemorative memory.

I used it at a company training camp, but there was nothing around, so it felt like a prison from beginning to end.It was a quiet and pleasant place, but it's a place I don't want to go to again.
