Horrifying Experience - Avoid at All Costs

I had the misfortune of visiting this pool center recently, and I can honestly say it was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. From the moment I walked in, I could sense an air of hostility that left me on edge. Little did I know, the worst was yet to come.

As I approached the pool, I couldn't help but notice the pool lady lurking nearby the school with her German shepherd. At first, I thought they were just there for show or perhaps as some kind of misguided attempt at a quirky theme. How wrong I was. As a group of high school students innocently played basketball and enjoyed their time, the unthinkable happened.

Out of nowhere, the pool lady began to shout aggressively at the students. Her demeanor was aggressive, and the poor kids looked utterly confused and frightened. But it didn't end there. To my absolute shock and disbelief, she threatened them with her German shepherd, allowing them to hound at the terrified teenagers around the basketball area.

The sheer cruelty of this act left me dumbfounded. No one should ever feel unsafe or threatened while simply trying to have fun at a pool center. The fact that this establishment not only condones but apparently encourages such behavior is beyond reprehensible.

Needless to say, I immediately left the premises, shaken and disgusted by what I had witnessed. I implore anyone considering a visit to this pool center to steer clear and find a safer, more welcoming place to enjoy their leisure time. No one should have to endure the trauma of being threatened by dogs while...

The best pool in Brisbane. Beautiful views north towards the city, and surrounded by lots of native trees, Gary and Bridget have have lovingly maintained the best features of this pool / parkland working hard it seems 24/7 always with a smile and great affection for their patrons. The pool has lots of sunshine at any time during the day thanks to the perfect aspect as the sun moves over the pool late into the afternoon. Always the perfect temperature, fresh in the summer months and very comfortable in the winter, they have got the balance just right, especially with Gary's beautiful chlorine-free fresh water that is refreshing and does not irritate the eyes, several times I have swum without goggles and had a beautiful swim. There is plenty of space to lounge around, the grass and trees always immaculately maintained and a lovely deckchair area to take in the picturesque view with a delicious coffee that Bridget always gladly serves with such proficiency and adeptness. Most of all Gary and Bridget's warmth, attention and love to the centre always shine through, especially to anyone who is welcome...

not disability friendly. l used to live this pool when the actual owner was around. he was a good man. but since this younger wannabe buck started there l am left in tears and won't be going back. he has a problem with the companion card. l used it to have a worker swim with me to reach certain goals, personal goals too. supposedly my companion shouldn't be in the water but following me around while outside the water. embarrassing!. if l want to remain not apart of the community or be made to stand out like the 'goodold' days l will go back in time 40yrs. sometimes it's not just about accessing the community with a disability but being or at least feeling apart of a community regardless of how you feel with a disability. l wonder if my companion should be made to close his eyes during a movie or be blindfolded at an event where his my companion. for the sake of 5$ just say no companion card permitted rather than look like ypur a disability supporter and then stipulate its terms. sad and...
