From today, you will be able to see a new acquisition in Room 4: Lucas Cranach the Elder's 'Venus and Cupid' has been generously gifted to us from the Drue Heinz Charitable Trust, following the death last year of Mrs Heinz, a committed and renowned patron of the arts.

And then Toben decided to take a 4 second break mid-swim in the 100 back. Doh! @CardiffSwimClub #JuniorParaSwim19 @SwimWales Even you never managed that @wil_dur

Yes, very sad news. The club clearly serves a need in the area as well as being successful. The fee increases cannot be fair, financially viable for Legacy or good for the city and this part of Wales generally. There has to be a more reasonable, sustainable solution.

I swam at @CardiffSwimClub for some time and in their meets for much longer. This is really really sad news, and there will be so many opportunities missed if anything happens to the club bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-4704…

They say they have placed more swimmers on Olympic and Commonwealth teams than any other club in the UK.
