Brynaman’s open-air pool was first opened in 1934, built and paid for by the local miners. It is now the only surviving lido in Wales. The Brynaman Swimming Pool Association was started to ensure the survival of the pool. They have set up a shop and a games room for the children, and organise a volunteer clean up of the facility before it opens each summer. Their work in ensuring the survival and popularity of the pool is much appreciated by the local community.
