Starting Block OSB9



photofinish

The OSB9 Starting block is the central element of the new generation of swimming start blocks for "raised deck level" pool types, and is fully compliant with all aspects of the FINA regulations.
Constructed entirely from high-grade stainless steel, it benefits from a new design and attractive
colour scheme.

The product has been tested by world-class swimmers, who have helped to specify the optimum
angle of the platform for racing starts and the best possible design of the anti-slip surface, both
very comfortable yet rough enough to guarantee the swimmer a feeling of total security. The
length of the platform is extended to 60cm to accommodate the new types of start.

The diameter and position of the handgrips have also been carefully considered to respond to all
the requirements of different hand positions.

There is one large removable door at the back of the block to allow easy access to the interior, to
connect the cabling. It is to be noted that the installation kit for the OSB9 is exactly the same as
the OSB7 and the floor fixings for the two blocks are identical.

The OSB10 Starting platform benefits from the same technology and materials as the OSB9, but is designed to be fixed simply to the existing start blocks, for example concrete types. So as not to ignore the needs of the technicians, mechanical modifications have been made to simplify installation and removal.
