VIDEO - The water play features families can enjoy at Malvern Splash from this weekend

Malvern Editorial 18th May, 2021   0

FAMILIES will be able to try out Malvern Splash’s new water play features this weekend following the centre’s £2million revamp.

Although the pool reopened on April 12, only basic swimming was allowed because of lockdown restrictions.

With those being lifted this week the Freedom Leisure team – which runs Malvern Splash on behalf of the council – is looking forward to restarting family fun sessions from Saturday, May 22.

This means swimmers will be able to take a ride on the new flume, enjoy the new interactive water play features and the new wave machine.




The swimming pool changing rooms have been fully refurbished with more family changing areas available and there are dedicated facilities for people with disabilities.

A range of energy efficiency features have also been installed to help reduce the centre’s carbon footprint including LED lighting and improved glazing.


A short ceremony took place on the poolside on Monday with Coun Cynthia Palmer, Malvern Hills District Council’s new Chairman, cutting the ribbon.

Coun Sarah Rouse, Malvern Hills District Council leader, said: “We’re so excited to be able to officially open the new look Malvern Splash and for families to be able to enjoy it fully now we’ve reached the next stage of lockdown easing.

“This is the biggest transformation of Malvern Splash since it opened in 1989 and part of our Five Year Plan commitment to help our residents stay active.”

Ivan Horsfall-Turner, Freedom Leisure’s managing director, said: “The last year has been a challenging period for the families and communities that we serve, so we’re really excited to welcome the Malvern community to enjoy this fantastic facility and have fun in our new-look leisure pool.”
