The starting block’s arsenal of innovations have all been designed to rigorous FINA standards. One of the most important is it’s customised rubber over mould platform: this durable cover tightly grips the feet of swimmers to avoid slippage, even after hours of swimming. A smooth guided adjustable track start provides the sturdy, stable base from which athletes can launch their next personal best.

The durable nature of carbon fibre means that the SX-50 will outlast other starting blocks on the market by a long margin. In fact, this starting block is uniquely designed to withstand pool chemicals. such as chlorine or salt, that would otherwise eat away at lesser materials.

The SX-50 is also perfectly suited for outdoor and indoor pools; it is highly resistant to the sun. Additionally, the block’s strong structure is able to endure standard wear and tear from competitive swimming and crowded swimming facilities well past the industry standard.

Carbon fibre is an extremely durable material; in part because of it’s organic strength and flexible nature. The SX-50 takes the best of both of these qualities and ensures longevity of life for one of the most durable starting blocks on the market.

The SX-50 is easily removable. It also comes custom fitted with Swimplex’s locking sliding system to ensure ease of access and unprecedented flexibility around the pool. This mechanism provides a stable composition so that swimmers using the SX-50 can focus on their starting form, rather than needing to balance.

A carbon fibre handle is installed on every block to provide swimmers with easier access to the water and aid in starting positions for advanced strokes. What’s more, the SX-50’s handle has been completely redesigned in order to offer maximum ergonomic value when used. The overall look of this handle brings a distinguished, instantly recognisable aesthetic to both the starting block and the pool it is fitted to.

In a sea of uniform, faded white starting blocks, the SX-50 rises from water like a monolith of futuristic design; there is nothing else like it on the market. Premium carbon fibre material. Sharp, modern form. A design of unprecedented quality that instantly catches the eye. This starting block features a glossy black surface, accentuated by tasteful yellow outline and high visibility numbers for each block. The SX-50 doesn’t just give your swimmers the perfect start; it’s the first black starting block on the market that looks good while doing it, too.
