About Us
Serving our community
Swim Narberth is an inclusive, accessible space, serving Narberth and surrounding areas. The swimming pool was rescued in recent years, having been financially unsustainable in the past.
Having undertaken many renovations and additions, the swimming pool is now a spacious building, boasting a sizeable pool, fully functional communal and changing areas, in addition to catering space.
Similarly, the pool now operates on a biomass boiler system, which is more environmentally friendly and commercially viable. The community enjoy a plethora of services and offerings including children's swimming lessons for all abilities, open sessions and other services, including swimming pool parties!
