The MALC Pinjarra: Opinions
Positive experience: Good pools, the forest/bush behind it near the car park is beautiful, I will add some photos
Thank you, Alex, we're glad you enjoyed our pools and natural surroundings.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful helpful friendly staff and fantastic facilities. Ready smiles from patrons. MALC is an excellent health and fitness resource for the region. With a creche to give mums time to relax and enjoy getting fit knowing that their little ones are in a kind caring environment.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you've had such a positive experience at MALC and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Glad you enjoyed the class Jenny. Thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: Amazing pools and a great whirlpool. Beautiful place to take the kids
Thank you Crystal, glad you enjoyed your visit.
Fantastic experience: Great aquatic centre for a small town, my children loved it!
Thanks for your comment, glad your children are loving the pool. :)
Fantastic experience: As a recent visitor to Pinjarra and recovering from a hip replacement, my husband and I visited the MALC so I could exercise in the pool. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Luke who was the life guard on duty most days, he remembered us and got me organised with equipment for my workout. We really enjoyed the warm country hospitality we received and will be back.
Hi Toni, thanks for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. We hope to see you back at the centre soon.
Negative experience: There was a mid chlorine Alarm going off while trying to get a pump. About 45mins in to my pull work out. Some “person” came in and was fully pressed that there were ppl in the jim. U really think a bit of chlorine gas gonna hurt me
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. As travelers driving trough Pinjarra, it was possible to just take a shower for 3$ pp. Very clean facilities. Thanks for that!
Glad to have you Ida. Looking forward to seeing you again when you are next in town.
Fantastic experience: I use the Hydrotherapy pool for rehabilitation. Staff and patrons are very kind and friendly.
Thank you for taking the time to share your kind review Jodi.
Positive experience: Good staff but casual management of their opening hours. Changes of opening hours sometime aren't published in advance, resulting people driving there and finding they can't get in. For example, Monday morning after Boxing Day: I got there after 8am, the centre wasn't open. There's no information on their website that says opening hours change and nothing is displayed on the entrance. A friend told me that he experienced the same, only found out the change after searching on Facebook. Do they expect everyone to use Facebook? What's the point to have a website if you don't use it to publish centre related information? How hard is to stick a piece of paper with the information on the door days before the changes taking place?
Fantastic experience: i was waterboarded and tortured with a toothbrush by 4 of the employees upon entry to this run down establishment. One of their names was Josh Stringer. If I find any more needles in the pool I might leave a negative review, however I will let them off this time. The water is always below 0 degrees and it is brown like my grandmas trousers, but it smells nice.
Fantastic experience: Buenos dios, comrades I personally have attended this place of leisure and have interacted with many interesting people. I do, however, have a problem. There are too many children. You see on more than one occasion I have been playing in the whirlpool and been bombarded by children, it was one thanks to a lovely French man that I survived this grave encounter. In conclusion I would be delighted if the children were removed from the situation and I could play with other grown men to my hearts content.
Positive experience: Very nice clean a bit heavy on the chlorine in the pool area it hits you as soon as you open the doors otherwise great ;)

Hydro pool, basketball courts, toddlers and baby's pool and creche facilities. Cafe for coffee or bite to eat. Pay as you go, or memberships available, you choose what works for you.
Negative experience: Yes
Unfortunately this reviewer appears to be rating all local businesses poorly. The MLC strives for excellence in service.
Negative experience: Yes
Unfortunately this review does not provide any explanation for the rating on this page or the many other business pages that this person has rated 1 star.
Negative experience: Charged excessive card payment surcharge fee. (Which thankfully is being outlawed by the reserve bank of Australia reforms from September 2017) Despite calling in advance to check lane availability for swimming there was a group that were using all the public lanes. Friendly Lifeguard gave me the okay to use the vacant school booked lane for 15minutes until the school group arrived.
Positive experience: Good space nice staff
Fantastic experience: Not too busy and they make great chips
Positive experience: Very relaxing pools on a hot day.
