My cousin was one of four boys who drowned off Aberavon in 1932, there is a large memorial to them just inside Cymmer cemetery. Children need to learn to swim and to take away this facility is not just cruel it is downright dangerous.
Port Talbot communities have little leisure facilities as it is - closing another focal point increases obesity in local community and as this is the only community pool in port talbot at this moment in time the wider community is affected.
I currently use the Cymmer Pool as it is the only public swimming pool that is close by & happy to take my children too as the facilities are always clean & the staff are polite. I could travel to Neath, which is a similar distance from my home, but have never been impressed by the standards
There has been a pool in our area since about 1939 please don t take one of the things we have inur villages. We are a socially deprived area don t make us more deprived. We don t even have a good transport network to travel from the area.
save our pool from closing. swimming is the only life skill you can learn that will save your life. my son completed swimming lessons here. unfortunately with threat of closure it doesnt look as if my daughter will get the same opportunity such a crying shame!!!
why are you taking everything away from us, most of the people got to travel for work commitments as it is and now your trying to make us travel even further for our leisure facilities... Spend the money you got for the afon Lido on saving all the valley facilities, port talbot have managed this long without their pool...
the valleys have suffered enough leave the pool alone

all of the schools use this pool in the Afan Valley. People do not realise the difficulty in using public transport to go to Port Talbot or Neath. It costs too much and takes over an hour to get there. Please don't close our pool.
