WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

We've been bringing our two children to Malvern College for the past 7 years for swimming lessons. As the boys have been progressing through the levels we have found the centre and all the staff to be professional and friendly in their approach. We have always had good, positive feedback and we cannot praise the staff highly enough! The cleanliness of the centre and pool, and the management of swimming lessons is a credit to the College.

C. Adams

Special thanks to Rob and his team at Malvern Active for facilitating our training for two weeks. Such a great facility!

Vicky Holland, GB Olympic Triathlon Bronze Medalist

I highly recommend swimming lessons at Malvern Active. Good sized groups, kind and patient teachers and a lovely clean pool and changing facilities. All three of my children are now strong and confident swimmers!

H. Bamford

Both of my daughters have done very well with the Malvern Active swimming programme. The small group sizes allow for a more personalised experience and ensure that children can progress to the next stage at the right time. Our youngest daughter was especially excited to attend - she always looked forward to her lessons! The staff are always pleasant, professional, and supportive, which makes the whole experience even more positive.
