CEMSB609 | Professional Competition Starting Blocks – 609mm Level Deck Configuration

Elite Competition Platform System

As a retailer of pool and spa parts, I understand that level deck pool installations require specialized starting blocks engineered for their unique configuration requirements. These 609mm height starting blocks are specifically designed for level deck pools where the pool coping sits at water level, creating different structural and height requirements compared to freeboard installations. This professional-grade system provides the optimal platform height and stability needed for world-class competitive swimming performance.

Precision 609mm Height Engineering

The 609mm height specification is meticulously calculated to provide the exact platform elevation required for level deck pool configurations. This height ensures the starting platform maintains the proper distance above water surface as mandated by FINA regulations while accommodating the structural characteristics of level deck installations where the pool edge sits flush with the water line.

This specific height dimension accounts for the unique architectural requirements of level deck pools, ensuring swimmers receive the optimal diving angle and platform stability required for explosive race starts. The precise engineering ensures regulatory compliance while maximizing performance benefits for competitive swimmers.

Level Deck Pool Optimization

Level deck pools present unique design challenges due to their architectural configuration where the pool coping sits at water level rather than above it. These starting blocks are specifically engineered to work with this configuration, providing the structural mounting and height characteristics needed for optimal performance in level deck environments.

The design accommodates the specific load distribution and mounting requirements found in level deck installations, ensuring the starting blocks integrate seamlessly with the pool architecture while providing the stability and performance characteristics competitive swimmers require.

Premium AISI-316 Stainless Steel Framework

The structural foundation utilizes the highest grade of marine stainless steel available – AISI-316 – providing exceptional corrosion resistance and structural integrity in the demanding aquatic environment. This premium material choice ensures decades of reliable performance even under continuous exposure to chlorinated water, pool chemicals, and environmental conditions.

The AISI-316 specification represents the gold standard for aquatic equipment construction, offering superior corrosion resistance compared to lesser grades while maintaining the structural strength required for dynamic loading from competitive diving starts. This material choice ensures long-term reliability and performance consistency.

Advanced Composite Platform Surface

The diving platform incorporates a specialized non-slip surface constructed from 100% polyester and glass fiber composite materials. This advanced surface technology provides superior grip characteristics under all conditions while maintaining durability through intensive competitive use. The composite construction offers optimal traction for swimmers while resisting wear and degradation.

The glass fiber reinforcement creates a surface that maintains its grip characteristics even when wet, providing swimmers with the confidence needed for explosive starts. The composite material resists wear from spike plates and repeated use while maintaining consistent surface texture throughout its service life.

Enhanced Structural Stability System

The engineering design provides exceptional stability through optimized load distribution and reinforced mounting systems specifically configured for level deck installations. The framework eliminates unwanted movement or flex during use, ensuring swimmers have the solid platform needed for consistent, powerful starts.

The stability engineering accounts for the unique loading characteristics found in level deck installations where mounting points and load paths differ from freeboard configurations. This specialized approach ensures optimal performance regardless of swimmer size or diving technique variations.

Professional Competition Compliance

These starting blocks meet all dimensional and performance requirements established by FINA, World Aquatics, USA Swimming, NCAA, and other major governing bodies for competitive swimming equipment. The precise specifications ensure facilities can confidently host sanctioned events ranging from local competitions to international championships.

The compliance extends beyond basic dimensional requirements to include safety standards, material specifications, and performance characteristics mandated for professional competition use. This comprehensive regulatory approval ensures facilities invest in equipment that maintains its certification throughout its operational life.

Complete Professional Installation System

The starting block package includes all specialized fixings and mounting hardware required for secure installation in level deck pool configurations. This comprehensive system eliminates procurement complications while ensuring proper installation using components specifically engineered for the unique requirements of level deck installations.

The included mounting hardware utilizes corrosion-resistant materials that match the durability standards of the starting block structure. This ensures the entire installation system maintains its integrity and performance characteristics throughout years of competitive use.

Safety-First Design Philosophy

The starting block design prioritizes swimmer safety through comprehensive safety features including rounded edges, secure step configurations, and structural redundancy that exceeds minimum competition requirements. The design eliminates potential injury hazards while maintaining the performance characteristics competitive swimmers demand.

The safety engineering includes consideration of emergency egress, platform edge design, and surface treatments that minimize slip hazards. This comprehensive approach ensures the starting blocks provide a secure platform for swimmers while meeting the safety standards required for competitive venues.

Professional Aesthetic Standards

The starting blocks maintain the refined appearance standards expected at elite competition venues, contributing to the professional atmosphere required for high-level competitive swimming events. The premium materials and precision manufacturing create a visual impression that aligns with the performance expectations of competitive swimmers and officials.

The aesthetic design integrates seamlessly with modern level deck pool architecture while providing the functional performance characteristics essential for competitive swimming. This balance ensures the equipment enhances rather than compromises facility presentation standards.

Long-Term Performance Investment

The premium construction approach and materials selection ensure these starting blocks deliver reliable performance throughout decades of competitive use. The investment in quality engineering and manufacturing provides exceptional long-term value through consistent performance, minimal maintenance requirements, and extended service life.

The durability characteristics ensure starting blocks maintain their structural integrity and performance standards even under the intensive use conditions found in busy competition facilities hosting frequent training sessions and competitive events.

Maintenance and Service Efficiency

The robust construction minimizes maintenance requirements while providing accessibility for routine inspection and service procedures. The design facilitates the periodic maintenance needed to keep competition equipment in optimal condition without requiring extensive downtime or specialized maintenance procedures.

The service-friendly approach ensures facilities can maintain their starting blocks in peak condition throughout years of competitive use, ensuring consistent performance and regulatory compliance during critical competition periods.

Elite Facility Integration

These starting blocks integrate seamlessly with the sophisticated infrastructure found in elite competition facilities, complementing advanced timing systems, electronic starting equipment, and other professional competition technology. The design accommodates the integration requirements of modern competition venues.

The professional specifications ensure compatibility with relay judging platforms, false start detection systems, and other advanced competition equipment that elite facilities utilize for hosting major swimming events.
