Design
The design of this starting platform is intended to comply with current FINA, USA Swimming and NCAA requirements. Its long-reach design permits installation on pools where overflows or other obstacles preclude installation of shorter-reach platforms.


Structural Frames
The structural frame of the Institutional Cantilever Starting Platform is of polished, 1.9-inch (48.3mm) Outer Diameter (OD), 304 stainless steel with a wall thickness of .145 inches (3.7mm) and bends (nominally) on a 6 inch (152.4mm) radius. The platform is equipped with one stainless steel tread  affixed to the frame at a 15° degree angle for ease in mounting.  This tread is 3 inch (76.2 mm)  in width and 20 inch (508mm) in length at the rail centerline. Strategic bends of the heavy-duty stainless steel provide the tread's unmatched strength.

Treads
Contrasting beauty, sure-footing and secure mounting of the Elite™ Tread to the frame section is enhanced by a replaceable, black non-skid, Cool-Touch™ tread insert at the top and caps at either end of the tread.

Frames
The frame sections mount to the pool deck by two (2) IAA-00 Institutional Anchor Socket Assemblies (included) and are protected by Institutional Escutcheon Plates (IEP-1 00) with tamper resistant set screws. The frame legs are drilled to accept 3/8 inch (.38 inch//9.5mm) securing pins (included).

Backstroke Bar
The unit features a backstroke bar of polished, 1 inch (25.4mm) Outer Diameter (OD), 316 stainless steel with a wall thickness of .065 inch (1.7mm) and bends (nominally) on a 4 inch (101.6mm) radius. The backstroke bar attaches to the platform frame by four stainless steel carriage bolts.

Platform
The 20x24 inch (508x609.6mm) platform is of laminated fir covered and reinforced by fiberglass to which has a non-slip sand coating is applied for sure-footing. The platform attaches to the frame at a (nominal) 10° slope by four stainless steel bolts.   To insure compliance with relevant regulations, orders for this model must include deck to water level dimension.
