Finis Backstroke Wedge

FREE SHIPPING AND SHARK CARD DOES NOT APPLY FOR SPECIAL ORDERS

DESCRIPTION

Finally, the solution coaches have been looking for – an affordable way for swimmers to practice with a backstroke wedge before championship swim meets. The Backstroke Start Wedge is FINA-compliant and can be used during training and competition as a way for swimmers to get an explosive start without slipping. Unlike expensive automatic devices, Backstroke Start Wedge is manual and can be set up multiple ways to fit all standard starting blocks. Swimmers can also easily adjust the wedge to their desired height through five different settings to optimize their backstroke start. 

FINIS worked in collaboration with Vince Harris at WEDG Swim Start Systems (County Cork, Ireland) to develop the FINIS Backstroke Start Wedge. Vince is an Irish engineer and swim dad who began making his own wedges for his daughter's swim team after learning how expensive they were. He had one goal in mind: to create an affordable alternative that fits all standard blocks.

  • PRACTICE BEFORE COMPETITION: The most affordable way for swimmers to practice with a backstroke wedge before championship swim meets
  • EXPLOSIVE RACE START: Eliminates slipping, adding power and agility to swimmer's backstroke start
  • FITS ALL STANDARD BLOCKS: Compatible with single-post, two-post, four-post and large-base blocks
  • EASY ADJUSTMENTS: Swimmers can easily customize the wedge height through five different settings
  • OFFICIAL COMPLIANCE: FINA FR 2.10-compliant for practice and competition
  • MATERIAL: Made from Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR)

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Remove backstroke start wedge from water and block after each use.
  2. Rinse with cool non-chlorinated water after each use.
  3. Store in a cool dry place. Do NOT leave in direct sunlight.
