Swimmer dies at Newport International Sports Village

A swimmer has died at Newport International Sports Village.

Police were called to the Regional Pool & Tennis Centre on Tuesday afternoon where a woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

The pool, on Velodrome Way, remained shut for the rest of the day "as a mark of respect", after the incident at 1.50pm, the South Wales Argus reports.

The death is not being treated as suspicious.

In a statement, Newport Live said: "We are deeply saddened by the sudden death of a customer who used the swimming pool at Newport International Sports Village earlier today.

"Staff at Newport Live are working with Gwent Police and  Newport City Council ’s health and safety team who have visited the centre.

"Newport Live would like to pass on their condolences to the family and friends at this difficult time."
