<h3>The development of sport at Swansea University (1920-2020)
</h3><p>The arrival of the Centenary affords an opportunity to reflect, explore and provide insights into the nature of sport and the part it has played in the life of Swansea University. Students have long been encouraged to take part in extra-curricular activities and sport in its various forms has always been an attraction for many of the University community.
</p><p>This lecture examines the reasons for the popularity of sport; the achievements of individuals and teams; the introduction of sports scholarships; the development of state of the art facilities and the establishment of degree studies in sport and exercise science.
</p><p>The changing social contexts and influences that affected sport, along with the growth of the University are also considered, ending with a glimpse into possible future developments.
</p><h3>Datblygiad Chwaraeon yn Mhrifysgol Abertawe (1920-2020)</h3><p>Mae’r canmlwyddiant yn cynnig y cyfle i fyfyrio, archwilio a chynnig cipolwg ar natur chwaraeon a’i rhan ym mywyd Prifysgol Abertawe. Mae myfyrwyr ers tro wedi cael eu hannog i gymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau allgyrsiol ac mae chwaraeon yn ei amrywiol ffurfiau bob amser wedi bod yn atyniad i lawer o gymuned y Brifysgol. 
</p><p>Mae’r ddarlith hon yn archwilio’r rhesymau dros boblogrwydd chwaraeon; cyflawniadau unigolion a thimau; cyflwyno ysgoloriaethau chwaraeon; datblygu cyfleusterau o’r radd flaenaf, a sefydlu’r astudiaethau gradd mewn gwyddor chwaraeon ac ymarfer corff.  
</p><p>Caiff y cyd-destunau cymdeithasol newidiol a effeithiodd ar chwaraeon, ynghyd â thwf y Brifysgol hefyd eu hystyried, a bydd yn dod i ben gyda chipolwg ar ddatblygiadau posibl yn y dyfodol.
