Cardiff International Pool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cardiff International Pool (Welsh: Pwll Rhyngwladol Caerdydd) is located in the Cardiff International Sports Village in Cardiff, Wales.[1] It opened to the public on 12 January 2008 and it officially opened on 26 February 2008 by Duncan Goodhew.[2]
It is a public-private funded project, with a partnership between Cardiff Council (land owner), OLLC which is a partnership between Orion Land & Leisure and Explore Investments (developers) and Parkwood Leisure (operator).[3][4][5] Parkwood won the contract to manage the facility for 10 years, with a projected turnover of £2.5m each year.[6]
- Construction of the GB£32 million facility commenced in April 2006 and includes two pools; an Olympic size 50 m (164 ft) 10-lane competition swimming pool with seating for 1,000 spectators and a 25 m (82 ft) 4-lane indoor waterpark with flume rides, a beach area with water slides, a lazy river and jacuzzi. The centre also has a fitness suite and studios, conference rooms and a café[7][8].
