"Well maintained pool. but the staff is rude. The MANAGER in the front reception is a SEXIST. He body shamed me infront of others. Instead of doing his job made things personal intentionally and caused a scene. I had asked him why the pool deepside is not allowed in weekends when i am a swimmer and last friday on the weekday it was allowed for all. He has no solid reason of why its allowed on weekdays and not on weekends... kept telling me to bring some NOC and nonsense certificates. He has no reason to be rude and make sexual remarks just because im a bit fat. If i was a girl .... him telling these things would surely cost his job on complain"

"After visiting and swimming in all of the available pools in the region, the Wilson Garden is by far the best in terms of quality of staff, quality of the pool and the experiences shared by other swimmers. If you are visiting to satisfy an entitled sense opulence, please don't come here. This is an organic place for swimmers interested in swimming. Please ignore the comments of the elitists traveler who had to park his car on the road or the one that posted the photos verifying that he had to walk through an unpaved lot to get to the pool. Don't rob yourself of the experience of swimming at Wilson Garden when visiting Bangaluru."

"Reasonable pricing. Deepest end is upto 8 feet. But sometimes they don't let you go beyond 5 feet. Water is somewhat clean. Staff is very cordial. They have swimming caps and shorts in case anyone wants to purchase."

"The pool itself is quite good; it is the biggest I've found so far in Bengaluru. However, the remaining infrastructure is in shambles. The showers are broken. The toilets in the changing area are in pathetic condition. And for some reason the deep side is off limits which congests the pool on some days."

Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to learn swimming."
