Cardiff International Pool (Шаблон:Lang-cy) is an Olympic-sized swimming pool built as 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).[1][2][3] Parkwood won the contract to manage the facility for 10 years, with a projected turnover of £2.5m each year.[4]
The opening of the pool ended 10 years without an Olympic size pool in Wales since the closure and demolition in 1998 of the Empire Pool (which had been built for the Cardiff-hosted 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games) to make way for the Millennium Stadium.[5]
Construction
Construction of the £32 million facility commenced in April 2006 and includes two pools; an Olympic size [[List of Olympic size swimming pools in the United Kingdom|Шаблон:Convert 10-lane competition swimming pool]] with seating for 1,000 spectators and a Шаблон:Convert 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.[1][3]
The construction of the pool was the subject of a legal dispute.[6]
The pool was also built to support the London 2012 Olympics as a training facility. Several other sporting venues in the city of Cardiff were used for Olympics, such as the Millennium Stadium for football events.
