About

Indoor pool at the Martin Aquatic Center featuring facilities for diving.

While specific daily temperatures may vary, the pools at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center, particularly the competition pool, are generally maintained within optimal ranges for training and competitive swimming, typically around 79-81°F (26-27°C). Diving wells may be kept at similar or slightly warmer temperatures for diver comfort.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The James E. Martin Aquatics Center is consistently praised as a beautiful, top-notch, and well-maintained facility, even after more than a decade since its construction. Reviewers highlight its cleanliness, ample space, and suitability for various events and swimmers of all levels. It's particularly recommended for children due to its professional, friendly, and encouraging staff, which helps kids build confidence and skills. Many consider it an exceptional quality aquatic center. While the staff is widely commended for being kind, there are conflicting notes on water temperature: one small pool is mentioned as being too hot for open swim, resembling a hot tub, while another main pool is frequently described as freezing cold. Parking is available.

Beautiful Swimming and Diving Facility even though its been 10 years plus since it was first built. Aquatic Center is great for multiple events! Special place for swimmers from all levels. Parking available around back.

Ones of my favorite places in Auburn. Very friendly staff, the facility is well maintained, clean, and in good working order. Coming from swimming in many acquatic centers around the country including my favorite Georgia Tech, this place offers exceptional quality. The water in the small pool can be too hot for open swim (more like hot tub temperature of you're looking for a few quick laps) and the 5am crowd is a bunch of retirees so it makes sense but use accordingly

It's a great facility. Two separate pools for races. My son was pretty excited to have a swim meet at a big fancy college.
