Assuming you mean Heathrow airport, there's not a direct one, but you're in luck because it's a very easy change.
Take the Heathrow Express or Heathrow Connect to Paddington station, and then a train from there to Swansea.

Yes. Heathrow. I was searching online and one site mentioned a train or coach directly from the airport to Wales. Or am I reading that wrong? It travels through Reading. National Express? A coach would take 4 & a half hours to Swansea and the train about an hour less. Is going to Paddington the best way?

Coaches are direct (and cheaper) but I would say the time saving makes the tain a better bet.
You could take a coach to Reading and pick up the train there, though.
The advantage with going to Paddington is that it's the start of the line, so you're much more likely to get a seat!

I reckon that after the flight you'd probably rather be on a train than stuck in a coach? Also at paddington you can get some food if you're hungry by then. X

I think I would like to sit. I know I love trains. Paddington Station it is.
