10 stars for the great man this pool is named for.
Daniel R. Healy, 36, was the brave Navy SEAL who died while on a rescue mission in Afghanistan. His bravery was recounted in the movie Lone Survivor.
A native of Exeter, this pool was dedicated in his name.
This slightly dated, 1960s era outdoor pool is great for singles, seniors and families. With shaded patio tables under big umbrellas, poolside also has a charming outdoor shower to rinse off after a swim and where littles can safely play in the cool spray on hot summer days.
They offer swim lessons but not this year following the pandemic.
The Healy pool has a not-quite Olympic-length pool for lap swims (dedicated lap swim hours M-W-F 8-9 am) with an L-shaped extension complete with fun slides where many of the kids splash..
There are at least two lifeguards on duty at all times but signs advise parents to supervise their children. They give color wrist bands to all swimmers after lifeguards test you can safely swim in the deep end.
It's an outdoor pool so it's open mid-June through August, weather permitting. Oddly, the pool closes if there aren't enough swimmers.
It seems wise to call first before driving over.
Plenty of free parking available in the private lot. read more
