    How it works

    The backstroke start system is a wedge-shaped foot support mounted on the starting block. It gives swimmers an anti-slip surface at water level for a stronger push-off and less risk of slipping.

    • World Aquatics approved.
    • Height adjustable, about ±4 cm from the water surface.
    • Removed quickly after the start.
