Single Post Xcellerator® Starting Block _[Part#57282]

The Spectrum Aquatics Xcellerator® Starting Block is a World Aquatics-compliant competition starting block designed to maximize power, stability, and swimmer confidence. Featuring an adjustable track start foot wedge, ergonomic side handles, and a large 24" × 32" sloped competition platform, the Xcellerator helps swimmers achieve stronger, more explosive starts by positioning the rear leg at approximately a 90-degree angle for optimal power transfer.

The Xcellerator's premium stainless steel platform is finished with Spectrum Aquatics' exclusive high-traction grit overlay, providing exceptional grip in wet conditions to help reduce slipping and improve athlete confidence. An 18-inch competition-width H-style backstroke bar offers multiple gripping positions for backstroke events, while front hand and toe grips promote faster, more controlled takeoffs.

Available in both single-post and dual-post configurations, the Xcellerator is designed to accommodate a wide variety of pool layouts and can often be customized to fit existing starting block anchors, making it an excellent choice for both new construction and facility renovations. Each block features Spectrum Aquatics' patented anti-wobble anchoring system for exceptional stability and can be easily installed or removed when needed.

Built from premium electropolished stainless steel and protected with Spectra-Shield®, the Xcellerator is engineered to resist corrosion and deliver years of dependable performance in demanding commercial aquatic environments. Facilities can further personalize their starting blocks with custom colors, powder coating, school logos, and lane numbering to match their branding.

The Xcellerator Starting Block is an excellent choice for high schools, colleges, universities, municipal aquatic centers, competitive swim clubs, YMCAs, and championship venues seeking a proven competition platform with adjustable track start technology.

Compliant with World Aquatics, USA Swimming, NCAA, and NFHS regulations, the Spectrum Aquatics Xcellerator® Starting Block has earned the trust of competitive swimming programs around the world for its performance, durability, and customization options.
