Competitive swim meets live or die on starts — and the quality of your starting platforms directly affects both race performance and athlete safety. The Xcellerator Starting Platform line offers the precision, stability, and adjustability demanded by USA Swimming-sanctioned competition, from dual-post configurations for permanent pool installations to single-post systems for flexible programming.

Xcellerator Starting Platforms

Available in dual-post and single-post configurations, Xcellerator platforms feature a non-slip surface, adjustable kickplate for backstroke starts, and a rigid deck-mounted base system. The platform surface is sized to meet USA Swimming specifications for competitive use. Proper installation requires anchor hardware matched to your pool deck substrate.

Starting platforms are one component of a complete competitive aquatics setup. Aquamentor also carries racing lane lines, pace clocks, stopwatches, and competitive swim accessories to outfit a full meet program.
