It's been 7 years since my first visit to James E. Martin Aquatics Center. It was great to get…read moreback. My fondest memories are of my young son swimming with Auburn Alum, Olympic medalist and TV commentator Rowdy Gaines at a week long camp directed by former Auburn Head Coach Brett Hawke. Parking can be a challenge for visitors. The closest areas are reserved for faculty and students. There is parking in the nearby football lot. The facility although dated to the mid 90's is in great condition. The primary pool and diving well is for Auburn swim and dive team. However, faculty and students can use the pool. The spectator area is marvelous and spans the entire length of the pool and well. The Olympic size pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition with depths of 7-8 feet for greater speed. The facility is maintained to high standards and immaculate. Auburn is a fabulous city with the Auburn campus meshing into one big happy community. War Eagle!

This was the last wholesome place I could take my children and grandchildren that didn't cost so much money. I am sick of all of this. Can't go anywhere anymore. The world is sick and this is the last place I thought this would happen. I am pulling my membership. You have so many strict rules in there, I was really impressed with the lifeguards and how well they watch the children And the older ones like myself. You always close down to make sure the pool is clean and everything is well maintained. I thought you had some decency, but now we don't have any good examples for our children to follow. I just want to swim and play pickleball and use the gym equipment and not have to look at some men dressed up like women. children need really good role models and this not setting a good example. What's next for the children? Who allows this? When you allow this, the center will go down. The community goes down also. This is not upbuilding, this is tearing down. This is a disgrace. I'm not supporting this. Anybody else going to stand with me?

I was looking for a reliable place to swim and work out since I'll be in this area regularly. This place is not it. I called ahead specifically to ask about swimming, and at no point was I told the pool would be unavailable. When I arrived, the pool was completely taken over by a swim class, making lap swimming impossible. That kind of poor communication is unacceptable and shows a lack of basic consideration for patrons' time. The weight room was just as bad. Multiple benches had visible sweat stains, making it obvious the equipment had not been wiped down after previous use. In a fitness facility, basic cleanliness isn't optional, it's the bare minimum. The bathrooms were absolutely filthy. Not "a little messy," but dirty enough to make you question how often they're cleaned at all. Between the unsanitary conditions and the disorganization, the entire facility felt neglected. I was hoping to find a dependable gym for future business trips, but this was a one and done visit for me. If you care about cleanliness, clear communication, or a professional environment, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This facility needs serious improvements before it should be charging people to use it.
