Quicksilver Low Profile Starting Platform, Single Post _[Part#57289]

The Spectrum Aquatics Quicksilver Single Post Starting Block is a low-profile swim starting block designed specifically for learn-to-swim programs, instructional pools, recreation facilities, and training environments. Its lower platform height helps beginning swimmers develop proper starting technique while building confidence, making it an excellent choice for facilities focused on swim instruction rather than sanctioned competition.

Built from durable stainless steel, the Quicksilver features a 23" x 25" one-piece LDPE platform with a molded, non-slip surface that provides excellent traction without exposed bolts or hardware. A front hand and toe grip promotes proper starting position, while the horizontal backstroke bar supports backstroke practice during training sessions.

The Quicksilver utilizes Spectrum Aquatics' single-post anchor system with a patented anti-wobble, locator-pinned design to provide exceptional stability and consistent alignment. The block installs and removes quickly without tools and accommodates anchor setbacks from 12 to 24 inches, making it an excellent solution for a variety of pool layouts, including facilities with large water drafts.

Constructed from UV-stabilized, chemical-resistant polyethylene, the platform is engineered to resist fading, discoloration, and cracking, delivering years of dependable performance in both indoor and outdoor aquatic environments. Available in white, red, blue, forest green, and yellow, the Quicksilver complements virtually any facility design.

The Quicksilver Single Post Starting Block is an ideal choice for learn-to-swim pools, community recreation centers, YMCAs, schools, parks and recreation departments, summer league facilities, and aquatic centers looking for a durable, low-profile starting platform that helps swimmers safely develop their starting skills.

Please note: The Quicksilver is designed for instructional and recreational use and does not comply with World Aquatics, USA Swimming, NCAA, or NFHS competition regulations. Facilities hosting sanctioned swim meets should select one of Spectrum Aquatics' competition-compliant starting blocks, such as the Sprint with Rapid Lock™.
