What Backstroke Flags and Posts Does Your Pool Need?
Backstroke flags are inexpensive, but the posts and anchors that hold them have to match your deck. We supply both, plus the backstroke start devices swimmers use off the wall.
Flag sets are sized to your pool width and lane count, and are positioned five meters from each wall for meter courses and fifteen feet for short-course-yard pools. Flags can be ordered in custom color combinations to match your team.
Posts and anchors are the part worth measuring. Most facilities already have deck sockets in place — send us the socket diameter and spacing and we'll confirm which posts drop in. Where no sockets exist, we can supply free-standing or expansion-post alternatives.
We also supply backstroke start devices and adjustable ledge wedges that mount to your starting platforms, along with replacement straps and hardware.
