Special thanks to Rob & his team at @MalvernActive @malverncollege for facilitating our training for two weeks. Such a great facility.
Always great to come back and use @MalvernActive facilities. Amazing to think it was ten years ago that I used to train in the old pool!
I like the small, friendly atmosphere, quiet location and the staff are friendly, polite and helpful.
