FACILITIES With an extensive range of sports facilities available to students at both Swansea Bay Sports Park next to Singleton Campus and Bay Campus, the University caters for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities. Both campuses house excellent health and fitness facilities, including top-of-the-range equipment and classes. The University also offers a high-end strength and conditioning facility (The Shed) available to elite athletes and teams. The New Zealand All Blacks have used our sports facilities as a Rugby World Cup training base and our 50m National pool has been used by athletes preparing for Olympic and Paralympic games and is currently home to Swim Wales’ high performance programme. Our football teams have access to a world-class training facility at Fairwood which is the main training ground of Swansea City Football Club. Our extensive range of sporting facilities includes: • Athletics track and field • Cycle hire and running routes • Indoor athletics track • Multi-purpose sports halls and outdoor games areas • Playing fields • Sports pavilion • Tennis courts
