Record Breaker Starting Platform, Single Post _{[Part #57283]}

The Spectrum Aquatics Record Breaker Starting Block is a World Aquatics-compliant competition starting block designed to deliver dependable performance, exceptional durability, and a clear upgrade path for growing swim programs. Built with a premium stainless steel platform and a heavy-duty dual-post frame, the Record Breaker has been trusted by competitive aquatic facilities for years.

The Record Breaker features a 32" x 24" stainless steel platform with a durable non-slip surface and a 10-degree slope that promotes an optimal starting position for explosive, confident starts. Swimmers benefit from versatile 18-inch H-style backstroke handles, while facilities can choose either side-step or rear-step configurations to best match their pool layout.

One of the Record Breaker's greatest advantages is its ability to grow with your program. The platform can be upgraded to the Xcellerator® Starting Block by adding Spectrum Aquatics side handles and an adjustable track start footrest, allowing facilities to enhance performance without replacing the entire starting block.

Constructed for demanding commercial aquatic environments, the Record Breaker accommodates anchor setbacks from 18 to 38 inches (side-step) or 30 to 38 inches (rear-step). Available in standard black or customized with school colors, team logos, and powder-coated finishes, the Record Breaker allows facilities to create a competition venue that reflects their unique identity.

The Record Breaker is an excellent choice for high schools, colleges, universities, municipal aquatic centers, competitive swim clubs, YMCAs, and community recreation facilities seeking a durable, competition-ready starting block with future upgrade flexibility.

Compliant with World Aquatics, USA Swimming, NCAA, and NFHS regulations, the Spectrum Aquatics Record Breaker Starting Block delivers the stability, performance, and long-term value that competitive swimming facilities have relied on for decades.
