National Lido of Wales

Great value for money and a lovely swim in all weathers. The pool and changing facilities are spot on, and the staff are really friendly. Only downside is the hairdryers – could definitely be better for getting ready before work.

The only lido/outdoor pool in Wales! Park nearby at Gas Road car park (£1 for 2 hours) as no parking at the pool itself. Great value at only £3 per adult for a 1 hour session. Changing and lockers (£1 refundable) available either poolside (traditional cubicles) or indoor (modern, clean). Hot showers (poolside or indoor). There are 3 pools onsite (25m lanes, smaller leisure, and beach-style), all heated to 28°. Pool and facilities are clean. We went during term time, so public sessions are limited and very popular. Bit of a holiday vibe, with classic pop blaring throughout the session and 'hi-de-hi' tannoy announcements. Cafe and exhibition not open when we visited, which was slightly disappointing. Nevertheless, well worth a visit.
