If your two favourite things in the world are swimming pools and raves, well, you're in luck.

A special charity event is combining the two at the Shankill Road leisure centre.

And, even better than that, it's all to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Kids entry is just £1 at the event on Sunday.

The pool party will be from 10am to 11.30am with slide and waves activated, pool toys and floats, with music to add to the atmosphere.

General Manager of the centre, Steve Rosling, told Belfast Live: "This week in partnership with Active Belfast Ltd and Belfast City Council we had the launch of the ambitious 10 year Belfast Aquatics Strategy with a number of initiatives running across our pools until August 31.

"Through this strategy we aim to significantly increase participation in swimming. The 'rave at the waves' is an additional family fun session that the Shankill Leisure Centre is running to offer families the opportunities to swim and splash in a fun filled atmosphere with slides, pool toys, music and our popular wave machine.

"Kids can swim for only £1 at all Belfast pools until August 31 and proceeds from this event will go to our charity partner Cancer Research UK."
