Belfast Aquatics has opened its inflatable adventures with weekly afternoon sessions running on Wednesdays from 1-4pm.
Management committee secretary Martina Murrihy said the first session on January 13 was a success with over 120 children having a go of the inflatable course.
"I went down to the pool and there were plenty of smiling faces, activity and exercise," she said. "We've had inflatables prior to these ones but this time they're brand new."
The inflatables arrived on Tuesday from New Zealand company Aflex.
Community fundraising secured the $18,800 purchase of the inflatables and the children certainly approved of them.
"We had a bunch of different fundraisers to raise the money," Mrs Murrihy said. "At the past four folk festivals we've held a general stall and we also had two fundraiser films in 2019.
"We've previously received grants for the purchase of inflatables but this time it was all our fundraising."
The inflatables will next be live on January 20 from 1-4pm with entry $7 per swimmer.
