Spring Hill Baths — Local services in Brisbane City

My regular place to swim. I love that it’s heritage listed. The people who swim here range from babies to ppl in their 80’s. Lots of ppl over 50. You don’t need the body beautiful. Just be yourself. Most of the regulars are friendly and say hi to anyone. When Tim worked here he started playing ABC classic radio. At first I wasn’t sure.. now it’s the only music to swim to there. It’s also had the impact of me seeing orchestra at QPAC. It’s delightful swimming to classical music. The staff seem to change regularly. Some are more friendly than others. Some seem to work harder than others too. They do learn to swim lessons.

I've been members of sporting clubs and gyms for years but have never experienced a group of staff like the ones that work here. 5 out of 5 stars doesn't do this place justice.

Everyone makes you feel so welcome and it creates a sense of community amongst the...
