At the Cardiff Village, swim, workout, watch ice hockey, go ice skating or white water rafting.

Cardiff Bay, less than two miles from the city centre, has become a widely respected sporting destination in its own right. Cardiff International Sports Village is exciting. Bordering the freshwater lake created by Cardiff Bay Barrage, the Sports Village already boasts two Olympic standard sporting facilities, Cardiff International White Water and Cardiff International Pool, both used as training venues for the London games in 2012. Alongside these, you will find the Viola Arena, a public skating rink and home of the Cardiff Devils Elite League ice hockey team.

Cardiff International Pool is a modern facility with a 50m Olympic swimming pool. There's also a leisure pool with flumes, a lazy river, Space-Bowl, slides and a toddler area. If swimming isn't for you, there is a state-of-the-art gym, leisure centre and group fitness classes. Plus, a health suite with a sauna, steam room and spa.

The Cardiff Devils

The Cardiff Devils are an Elite League Ice Hockey team and the only one from Wales. The Viola Stadium, previously the Ice Arena Wales, is located at the International Sports Village in Cardiff Bay. Here, you can cheer them on most weekends from September to March.
