It is 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).〔(Signing ceremony for pool )〕〔(Parkwood Leisure manages Cardiff's newest International sport and leisure venue )〕 Parkwood won the contract to manage the facility for 10 years, with a projected turnover of £2.5m each year.〔(Parkwood wins Cardiff pool contract )〕 Construction of the GB£32 million facility commenced in April 2006 and includes two pools; an Olympic size with seating for 1,000 spectators and a 4-lane indoor waterpark with flume rides, a beach area with water slides, a lazy river and jacuzzi. The centre also has a fitness suite and studios, conference rooms and a café.〔〔 The opening of the pool brought to an end 10 years without an Olympic size pool in Wales since the closure and demolition in 1998 of the Empire Pool (which had been build for the Cardiff-hosted 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games) to make way for the Millennium Stadium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/3065/details/EMPIRE+POOL/ )〕 The pool was also built to support the London 2012 Olympics as a training facility. Several other sporting venues in the city of Cardiff were used for Olympics, such as the Millennium Stadium for football events. ==See also== * Sport in Cardiff * List of Olympic-size swimming pools in the United Kingdom 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cardiff International Pool」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
