Use the Best 25-Yard Swim Lane Ropes and Lane Lines

1 02 2013
Racing Swim Lanes

The right racing lanes make swimming easier.

Every competition pool needs lane ropes and lines to keep swimmers in their lane. Aside from keeping swimmers in their lanes, the best 25yard swim lane ropes and lane lines also contain various numbers of fins on the side of each individual disc that help calm the water, giving swimmers a smooth surface to perfect their swimming strokes and swimming times. There are a variety of choices when it comes to choosing the right lane ropes and lines for your pool. The two leaders in the industry are the AntiWave Forerunner and Competitor Racing Lane Line.

AntiWave   Forerunner Racing Lane Line

The AntiWave Forerunner 25-Yard Racing Line is a leader in the industry. The discs on the lane line measure 4.75 inches. This is a bit larger than the industry standard 4-inch disc, enabling them to successfully fight the waves by sending them down the swimming lane to stop the momentum and provide a smooth surface for your swimmers. They are available in a large variety of colors, as well as various patterns. As is industry standard, the first and last 15 meters must be an alternate color to alert backstroke swimmers of the wall that is coming up behind them. One of the largest benefits of investing in the AntiWave brand is its standard three-year warranty for its products, in addition to its popularity throughout the industry for durable, long lasting products.

Competitor 25-Meter Racing Lane Line

Another leader in the industry is the Competitor 25-Meter 4-Inch Racing Lane Line and the 6-Inch Racing Line.

A vinyl coating that extends the longevity of the discs protects each disc. They are available in nine different colors, as well as various color combinations, in both the 4- and 6-inch varieties.

Choosing the Right Backstroke Swim Flags

30 01 2013
Backstroke Flags

Customizing your backstroke flags gives your pool a professional appearance.

When you have swimmers who swim the backstroke in your pool, it is essential to have appropriate backstroke flags installed to prevent serious accidents. Some swimmers who regularly swim at your pool can tell how close to the wall they are by counting their strokes, but that can become tedious and it doesn’t help those who are unfamiliar with your pool. In order to keep everyone safe, it is important to find the right backstroke swim flags to hang up at your pool to ensure safety for everyone.

100-Foot Backstroke Flags

If you are looking for an affordable option to mark your pool with, the 100-Foot Backstroke Flags are perfect. Made from vinyl, they are available in a variety of colors, enabling you to coordinate them with your team’s colors. You can also choose multi colored flags that include five colors, alternating throughout the entire string. They easily tie onto sturdy poles and are perfectly spaced according to the standards of AAU and NCAA.

Custom Pennants

For true customization of the backstroke flags at your pool, there are Custom Backstroke Flags available. They are sold individually, allowing you to purchase as few as one or as many as you need for your pool. These quality flags are durable and long lasting. The custom pennants come without the rope, making it necessary to purchase the rope to string them according to regulation, which is typically one flag for every foot of space. You can order the custom flags in any quantity and color sequence that represents your school or team or purchase multiple colors.

Custom Lettering

To make your flags stand out even further, you can customize the lettering placed on them to further their authenticity. You can choose to spell out your team name, use lane numbers or any other letters/numbers that work well in conjunction with your pool to enlist team spirit and to give a professional look to the area.

Rope and Swivel Hooks

If you purchase custom pennants, you need quality rope, as well as swivel hooks, to professionally hang them so they meet the regulation requirements. The swivel hooks are easy to install and instantly give your pool a professional appearance. They also offer the ability to put your backstroke swim flags up quickly, as well as take them down and store them until the next time you need them.
