CB SKY DIVER (SWANSEA-UNITED KINGDOM)

Swansea (Welsh: Abertawe, "mouth of the Tawe") is a city in Wales and a Welsh County. The city of Swansea is situated on the South Wales coast immediately to the east of the Gower Peninsula and is the second largest city in Wales. It grew to its present importance during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, becoming a centre of heavy industry. However, it did not enjoy the same degree of immigration as Cardiff and the eastern Welsh valleys.

The name Swansea is believed to come from "Sweyn's Ey" ("ey" being the Old Norse word for "island") and to have originated in the period when the Vikings plundered the south Wales coast. Consequently it is pronounced Swan's-y [ˡswɒnzi]) not Swan-sea.

Swansea is bordered with Carmarthenshire to the north, and Neath Port Talbot to the east.
