Background
History
The £11 million pool opened in 2003 following the demolition of Wales' national pool, the Wales Empire Pool in Cardiff, in 1998 due to the construction of the Millennium Stadium, and served as its replacement for a short period, until the construction of the £32 million Cardiff International Pool.
