Brynaman Lido Committee began work in 2014 to research, plan and get support for the refurbishment and reopening of Brynaman Lido. In November 2023 we signed an Asset Transfer agreement with Carmarthenshire County Council to transfer the lido back into community ownership.
The lido or ‘the Baths’ as it is known locally, is an important part of the cultural history of the village. The planned refurbishment will be sensitive to the original design of the pool and will aim to keep unique features such as the turnstile and changing booths with sympathetic adaptions to increase access and ease of use. We want to bring back the Sapphire Pool that was built by the community, for the community and make it available to all.
We aim to use renewable energy and new technology to refurbish, rebuild and manage the facility including the use of sustainable materials, air source heating, solar energy and bore hole water sourcing which will all go towards making this an exemplar project.
