As a member I enjoy visiting this great pool . The swimming experience is great although you do have to check the lane availablity which is variable depending on who else is using the pool .

Pros: 50m pool. Cons: Rude and unhelpful staff. Pools sometimes close earlier than indicated on the lane swimming timetables (which are updated weekly) with no explanation as to why. You have to pay for parking, even as a member. Changing room floors are often filthy. Pool often closes for whole weekends to accommodate events and competitions.

The Wales National Pool in Swansea is a good place to go swimming. The pool is a great size and the facilities are generally clean and well maintained. It’s a good place for both lane swimming and casual visits. The staff are friendly and the overall environment is nice, although it can sometimes get quite busy at peak times. Overall it’s a good swimming facility and a nice place to go for a swim in Swansea. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
