Was it the (now demolished) Empire pool in cardiff that was the host for the swimming events? Yes ok it was "Cardiff Empire Games 1958". EdwardLane (talk) 17:27, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

taken me a little while to get back to looking at this but anyway this article certainly suggests that to be the case. EdwardLane (talk) 21:37, 8 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
