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.
We've been so happy with the professionalism, organisation and quality of swimming lessons our children have had at Malvern College. Our girls confidence in the water has gone from strength to strength.
The sessions have been just enough to allow progression and learning each week, without the girls becoming bored or too tired. Having the early morning option has enabled us to fit the lessons around our varied activities at the weekends.
The instructors are really knowledgeable, patient and encouraging - always on hand to answer questions and provide updates on progress or advise if there's anything we could do at home to aid progression.
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!
As a parent, finding the right swimming lessons for our children has been incredibly important to us - not just for safety, but also to build confidence and a lifelong love for the water. Malvern Active has exceeded all our expectations. The instructors are not only highly qualified but also wonderfully patient and encouraging. My daughters have both loved their weekly lessons and it's all thanks to the supportive, fun and structured environment.
The small classes mean every child gets the attention they need, ensuring steady progress, and the facilities are always clean and welcoming. I couldn't recommend Malvern Active more highly - it's been a fantatic experience from day one!
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.
Whatever your child’s ability or experience, enrolling them in lessons at Malvern Active will kick-start their learning and inspire a love of swimming that will last a lifetime.
