Wales National Pool

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wales National Pool in the Sketty area of Swansea, South Wales is a 50 metre swimming pool built to FINA standards. The facility, which also has a 25m x 9.5m training pool and 1,200 spectator seats, is used to train Wales' world class aquatic sports athletes[1] and houses the headquarters of the Wales Amateur Swimming Association.[2] While the pool is of Olympic length, its width of 21m is not sufficient to qualify as an Olympic standard pool.[3]

The facility was built with funding from the Sports Council for Wales, Swansea Council and Swansea University and is built on the site of Swansea University's sports centre.
