Xcellerator® Starting Platform, Single Post (57282)

xcellerator starting platforms for swimming

Applying the latest in approved technology, the Xcellerator® Starting Platform contains an adjustable track start wedge and handgrips to give swimmers an extra boost on starts by allowing the knee to start at a 90° angle. The superior grit finish on the platform top reduces slipping while the H-style backstroke bar give backstroke swimmers numerous gripping options. Show your team spirit with the addition of a custom logo or powder coating the block to match your team’s colors.

Spectrum Aquatics offers both single and dual post starting platforms, which include incredible non-slip tops and steps. Our stainless steel block tops are coated with a grit overlay providing an incredible level of traction not available in competing products. Our plastic tops are made of low-density polyethylene and contain a non-slip surface that surpasses industry standards. Plastic tops are a great choice for facilities that remove and store the blocks frequently – durable and able to withstand strong pool chemicals – resisting discoloration, fading and cracking.
