  Very nice pool - good mix of modern facility mixed with a great location and a nice relaxed old school vibe. Unfortunately the day I visited the 2 older ladies working on the front entry were extremely rude. I waited for 2 minutes whilst they both were inthralled with something on their computer. I had to clear my throat to attract their attention - then instead of an apology and a smile I received a very cold sneer that spoke "how dare you interrupt us". I tried to override this with a smile and being nice myself to no avail. Such a shame the staff are ruining a great venue. I'd rather swim at a poor venue with happy staff.

  Went for the first time with a friend on a Saturday around 11. We’re beginners so didn’t need much time so the 12pm closing time didn’t bother us.
  
  Staff were very friendly, change rooms clean, loved the plants everywhere. My skin didn’t react to the water like it sometimes does at other pools. No dryness or itching after. No unpleasant chlorine smells.
  
  Lots of places to sit or put your stuff.
  
  Was a little disappointed I didn’t get to see the cat mentioned in other reviews! Hopefully will get to see it next time :)
  
  Loved the friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

  This pool has become like my 2nd home the last 6-12 months. I have been to other pools in Brisbane but nothing compares to Langlands 🌼💙 The pool, gardens and atmosphere - just bliss. Staff are always lovely and the cutie little old cat that’s sometimes chilling in the garden 🐈 Could spend hours on end here.. I feel the couple of negative reviews iv read on google about this pool are just so petty.. 10/10 stars ⭐️

  I've been coming for about a month, and like a lot of people I can only get my exercise first thing in the morning. There are a lot of lanes dedicated to squads or kids, and the remaining 3 or 4 lanes often have 3 people swimming in each. Which means parking is also difficult. Some of these lanes are people who swim multiple kilometres in a session, clearly doing it for a while, and then there are lanes where people walk, or use slow kickboards. As a younger beginner I find myself in an awkward inbetween stage where I just get in the way - there's no intermediate lane. There's just too many people.
  
  Of late the pool has also started to smell very strongly of bleach which I realise is only a by-product of all the bacteria, wee and sweat in the pool. But as an asthma sufferer I really struggle when the fumes and bleach smell restrict my breathing, even though swimming is supposed to be good for it. I'll have to try other pools that can maintain their chlorine levels properly. Never smelled an outside pool that smelled so strong before. Extremely off-putting.
  
  The stray cat that roams around is also an odd sight. Perhaps more focus on professionalism and hygiene if you're going to support such high numbers of swimmers.

  Awesome public pool! We have been bringing our children here for years and love the place. They have excellent facilities nowadays after a major upgrade and they run a great swimming school. Highly recommended!
