Description
The false start rope is stretched across the whole width of the pool and stops the swimmers when a race has started incorrectly. Atlas Pool makes the posts for it from stainless steel, and the set also includes a plastic rope, balls and floats.
Contents of the set
- two posts, each 1.8 m high
- plastic rope
- set of balls and floats
There are no fixing anchors in the set – they are ordered separately.

Use and installation
The posts are for competition and Olympic pools. They are fixed into anchors on both sides of the pool, and then the rope is stretched. Add the stainless steel anchors to the order separately. The same series also includes backstroke posts, turn panels and starting blocks.
