Cardiff International Pool (Welsh: Pwll Rhyngwladol Caerdydd) 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]
