Ards Blair Wellbeing Belfast is a state-of-the-art leisure and community centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This facility is designed to promote health, wellness, and community engagement by offering a wide range of amenities and programs for people of all ages.

The Aqua Zone, our unique swimming facilities, features a six-lane 25-metre indoor main pool and a 20-metre indoor minor pool, both with movable floors.
