National Lido of Wales

Was asked to shoot some shots of the members of Pontypridd Swimming Club at the Lido. I had to sneak a few shots of the Lido itself in too. What an amazing hidden gem this place is.

Love Ponty lido. Water is warm, spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Change in or outdoors. Enjoy 60s tunes and people having a fun swim whilst doing laps and taking in the hills.

Amazing family fun .lots of fun .clean .lots of lifeguards available .a fab park to play on after swimming .café too .make sure you book xx😊disabled facilities too x

This was even better than expected! I wish the website had all the visitor info you need to know on one page (where closest parking is, £1 coins needed for locker etc) but the facilities are excellent and great value for money (£2 swim adult) I'd rather come here than my local leisure centre!

It's a wonderful place! Feels like being on holiday. The water is a nice temperature and it's never too busy. Food and drink is really delicious, music plays as you swim and the staff are so friendly. There are two good sized pools and a splash zone for the little ones, there are also plenty of sun loungers to relax on, indoor and outdoor changing rooms and plenty of showers. 100% recommend

Not too crowded. Good value for money. Kids go free unless they want to go on the inflatable or boats.

Great time if you get the weather & can get a ticket! Timed sessions ensuring contained numbers, long wait outside. Toddler pool is too cold for little ones though. Inflatable fun is ok if your child can swim as it's very deep but great fun. Pool was heaving so not able to swim. Changing rooms not very private as people look over the top

This is a brilliant place. I recommend it highly especially if you have children. I went with my grandchildren (6 and 9) who loved it. The water is pleasantly warm and the whole place was not too crowded. The changing facilities were plentiful and never full. The staff were helpful and polite. Make sure you book well in advance as it is very popular.
