Female applicants for stewardesses are being tested in the underground swimming pool located in the main office building of Asiana Airlines at Ohsoi-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul yesterday. The Asiana Airlines included the ability to swim back and forth in a 25-meter-long swimming pool without a time limit into the mandatory physical ability tests from this recruitment, saying, “The ability to save the lives of passengers when a plane submerges under the sea is necessary.” Korean Airlines is also testing the swimming ability of female applicants since this spring’s recruitment.
