While many Auburn students take the summer season to enjoy time at the beach, Auburn University swimmers have found their own sort of paradise in Auburn during their summer training.
Along with the main pool inside the James E. Martin Aquatics Center, Auburn swimmers also have a 10-lane, 50-meter outdoor pool in which to train when the weather gets warm. While training outdoors during the stifling Alabama summer can sometimes be challenging -- and result in a set of cap and goggle tan lines -- the team loves to train in the sun after being indoors all competition season (August to March).
