Address: Crescent Vitality Health & Recovery Hub, 27 Clonard Crescent, Belfast, Antrim, BT13 2QN

This extra-warm hydropool offers a lovely quiet setting just 5 minutes west of Belfast city centre, and is particularly well-suited to young babies.  Onsite & on-street parking available, class sizes are small.

We recommend children should not wear thermal layers to our lessons at this location due to the increased water temperature. A Happy Nappy or Splash Jammers is still required.  Visit our Online Shop for a complete range of children’s swimwear and accessories.

The ages listed next to our levels are intended for children new to swimming lessons, or those who have taken a break for 6 months or more.

General Overview

Payment Details

The booking fee is £80, approximately 50% of a standard termly booking fee. The remaining term fees are due at the end of your first week of lessons, and will be calculated based on the number of weeks left in the term at the time of booking. After making your booking, you’ll receive both an enrolment confirmation listing all the details specific to your chosen pool, and an invoice detailing your second payment amount and due date.

Hydropool Surcharge

Our lessons at Crescent Vitality incur a surcharge of £2 per session. This is due to the increased running costs associated with a warmer-than-standard pool, and also a smaller class size (max. 4 parent-child pairs per class).

Welcome Packs

All students joining our lessons for the first time at either our baby or toddler levels must purchase a Welcome Pack, this will be mailed to you shortly after booking.  Welcome Packs cost £5 per student, we will include this fee on your first term invoice.  For students joining later at our preschool levels, or returning after a break, they do not need to purchase a Welcome Pack and this charge will not be included on your invoice.

Attire

All children not yet potty-trained must wear either a Double Nappy (both a disposable or reusable swim nappy, and a Happy Nappy) to baby and toddler swimming lessons at Crescent Vitality. We please note we do not recommend a thermal layer at this location due to the increased water temperature. Infant goggles are recommended for children attending our toddler and preschool levels, and should be worn with a swim hat to prevent any hair tangles or discomfort. Infant goggles are not required for our baby level swimming lessons.
All adults must wear a swim hat and swimwear. A pair of clear-lensed, clear framed googles are also recommended, especially for parents attending our baby levels.
