About
Swasey Pool, located at 145 Main Street in Durham, NH, is an indoor aquatic facility popular with the community. It offers a range of programs including public swimming, lap swim, swim lessons, and water fitness classes for all ages, typically featuring both a main pool and a warmer teaching/therapy pool.
Swasey Pool generally maintains its main pool at approximately 82-84°F (28-29°C), which is suitable for lap swimming and general recreation. A separate, warmer teaching or therapy pool is typically kept at a more comfortable 88-90°F (31-32°C), ideal for lessons, therapeutic activities, and younger children.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility receives mixed but generally positive feedback for its staff, student instructors, ample parking, seating, and good views, particularly during swim meets. While some reviewers praise the clean, warm water and the overall experience, significant criticisms include a freezing pool temperature in one instance, highly disorganized swim lesson sign-ups, a non-functional online sign-up page, limited space, and slow responses from the aquatics director. Concerns were also raised about potential over-chlorination/bromination and traffic jams on the single stairway leading to locker rooms after lessons.

I'm so glad they finally opened their pool. The kids had a great time at the meet! Everything went well, great staff! Very attentive! It's nice to see the kids swim at a university! I guess the only problem I had was they may have overdone the chlorine or bromine? Outside of that everything was great!

Pool is freezing, my child did not want to go in. Aquatics director takes days to respond to emails. Swim lesson sign ups are so disorganized. They could be making a lot more money as the instructors have openings not being utilized. Their online sign up pg does not work. Very limited space. Will not go back

After swim lessons, traffic jams occur on the single stairway leading down to the locker rooms. Otherwise, plenty of clean, warm water. Student instructors are great too.
