Merthyr Leisure Pools
Development proposal
Swimming for all
When open, the recommissioned facilities will provide residents with a 25m, six lane main pool, a dedicated teaching pool offering a full swimming education programme plus a leisure pool with interactive water play. The changing facilities will also be updated and redesigned to improve the overall visitor experience.
Please find below a selection of plans and images of the new Merthyr leisure pools – please click on the images to enlarge.

Leisure Pool
A new leisure pool is being designed to deliver engaging sensory experiences for younger children.
Within the existing leisure pool, the following is proposed:
- Removal of existing flume
- Provision of a highly interactive water panel aimed at increasing water confidence in toddlers and young children using a unique combination of high and low-level water play features.
A theme of dragons is currently being explored, with some examples below.
