The aquatic center at Auburn University is named after James E. Martin, the 14th president of Auburn University because he spearheaded the project. The design of the pool incorporates a state-of-the-art gutter system that absorbs waves. The NCAA’s Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships have been held here as well as the US Open. Facilities include a competition pool, diving well, instructional pool, and stairwell course. Visit the website for more information on memberships.
