All New, Sprint with Rapid Lock™ _{[Part #2510111]}

Precision Starts = Faster Finishes

The Spectrum Aquatics Sprint with Rapid Lock™ is a World Aquatics-compliant competition starting block top engineered to deliver faster wedge adjustments, exceptional durability, and explosive race starts. Featuring the patent-pending Rapid Lock™ technology, Sprint eliminates the cables and pins found on traditional adjustable starting blocks, replacing them with a simple paddle-style locking lever that allows swimmers to quickly and securely position the foot wedge before every race.

Designed as the successor to the Xcellerator® Starting Blocks, Sprint with Rapid Lock™ combines the proven performance of its predecessors with a faster, simpler, and more durable wedge adjustment system. Built for elite competition and everyday training, Sprint combines lightweight construction with outstanding strength. The innovative design makes the block top easy to install, remove, and transport while providing the stability and performance expected at the highest levels of competitive swimming.

At the heart of Sprint is Rapid Lock™, an industry-first wedge adjustment system that addresses one of the most common failure points in traditional starting blocks. Instead of relying on cables, pins, or complicated mechanisms, Rapid Lock™ uses a durable paddle lever that allows swimmers to adjust the wedge quickly, confidently, and securely. The result is faster setup, reduced maintenance, and a more reliable starting block for athletes and facility operators alike.

The Sprint platform features a high-traction grit overlay that provides exceptional grip without being abrasive on swimmers' hands or feet. Constructed from 30% glass-filled polypropylene, the block top delivers outstanding corrosion resistance while remaining remarkably lightweight. The wedge structure and slide mechanism are built from 316L stainless steel and UHMW, ensuring years of dependable performance in even the harshest aquatic environments.

One of Sprint's greatest advantages is its versatility. The Sprint top is compatible with all Spectrum Aquatics starting block bases and most other commercial starting block bases, making it an ideal retrofit solution for facilities looking to upgrade performance without replacing their entire starting block system. Custom logos, colors, and branding options allow schools and aquatic centers to create a starting platform that reflects their team identity.

The Sprint with Rapid Lock™ is an excellent choice for high schools, colleges, universities, municipal aquatic centers, competitive swim clubs, YMCAs, and championship venues seeking the latest advancements in starting block technology.

Compliant with World Aquatics, USA Swimming, NCAA, and NFHS regulations, the Spectrum Aquatics Sprint with Rapid Lock™ sets a new standard for competitive swimming performance by combining faster wedge adjustments, lightweight construction, and unmatched durability in one revolutionary starting block.
