Designed to help make backstroke starts faster and reduce the chance for slipping, the Backstroke Start System provides the option to easily add this capability to virtually any pool deck or starting platform configuration. Compliant with FINA standards, the ledge is adjustable to five clearly marked positions: at water level, and up to 40 mm both up and down in 20 mm increments. Made with a combination of a HDPE base, vinyl-coated aluminum components, and polyester strapping, the Backstroke Start System is suitable for exposure to the hard elements found in both indoor and outdoor facilities.
