Spectrum Aquatics, a PlayCore company, is excited to introduce Sprint with Rapid Lock™ (patent pending), the boldest redesign to starting blocks in decades. This incredibly lightweight starting block top will revolutionize athlete’s performance and competitive swimming overall. Our new advanced wedge locking mechanism delivers an unparalleled and secure method for adjusting the foot wedge, ensuring that each athlete is firmly locked in for powerful and quick starts.
Rapid Lock™ is an innovative design that allows for the adjustment of the foot wedge. This mechanism addresses a common failure point by featuring a faster and more convenient paddle-style handle, eliminating the need for cables and pins.
