Win At the Start
Whether you are running an elite swimming program or teaching
beginning competitive swimmers, S.R.Smith has a starting block
for your facility. Our elite Velocity series comes in single and dual
post models, both of which feature a FINA approved, adjustable
track start wedge.
Blocks for Everyone
Every aquatic facility has di erent requirements, which is why
we've developed options to accommodate a variety of pool
designs. Long reach platforms are ideal for pools with wide
gutter configurations, or pools with a lot of electrical timing
equipment on the deck. Side mount platforms are ideal for
narrow bulkheads or decks where space is particularly limited.
We also have low profile models that are well-suited to facilities
that cater to new or young competitors.
