HISTORY repeated itself in Swansea on Friday 7th March 2008 as the city turned out to welcome The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh to open the £32m LC leisure destination.
It was in the summer of 1977 that The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh performed the official opening of the then Swansea Leisure Centre.

And they did it again when they came to open its landmark successor. The Royal Couple's tour of the building was part of a day of activities in Swansea that included a civic luncheon at the Brangwyn Hall and a visit to the St Thomas community in the east of the city.
