Once your little one is changed, following the signs for Penarth Leisure Centre Swimming Lessons, they’ll then hop onto poolside where they’ll be met by their teacher to start their lesson.
You can then collect your child from their teacher at the collection point at the end of the lesson.
For baby/preschool/adult swimming please proceed to poolside, just before the start time of your lesson, and your teacher will meet you on the poolside!
For baby/preschool swimming one adult will be in the water and other family and friends are welcome to come and watch from the designated spectator areas.

Here’s a quick checklist of all the essentials:
Here’s a quick checklist of all the essentials:
We use the coloured swim hats to identify which level/wave your child is in. It also maintains high standards of cleanliness in our Legacy Leisure pools. Your child will receive a swim hat specific to their level/wave to be worn at every lesson. If there is a reason why your little one can’t wear a hat, this isn’t a problem just let our team or your swim teacher know.
Yes - you will be able to log in as usual to view your child's progress as usual by logging in here.
Once notified by the teacher that your child is ready to move up, you will be able to log in as usual to Home Portal and move your child to the next appropriate class by logging in here.
Here at Legacy Leisure our top priority is to celebrate all our swimmers’ achievements and milestones. We do this through Swim Wales certificates, badges which can be purchased from reception. Our ‘swimmer of the week’ award allows one swimmer from each class to be celebrated for different reasons such as progress, overcoming their fears, being kind to others or helping their swim teacher. Don’t forget to capture your child’s milestones with a picture at our selfie frame (located just outside the changing village) which you can share with via your social media - don't forget to tag us in #leisurecentre.com #LegacyLeisureSwimSchool #SwimWales #NofioCymru #YMALEN #theskillthatsaveslives
We understand these circumstances/arrangements may not suit you. We always do whatever we can to keep your swimmer enjoying their lessons. If you are unable to attend the lessons at Cardiff International Pool then please contact us and a member of our team will be able to help/advise you.
Thank you
I hope this gives you an overview of the plans so far.
I’d like to thank you in advance for your understanding while these improvements are made. I’m sure you’ll agree these upgrade works will be a great benefit to our community.
Should you have any queries or questions please speak to the team locally and we will do our best to help.
Nic Beggs and the team,
