- Finally, the solution the coaches were looking for is here - an economical way for backstrokers to practice before competitions. The FINIS backstroke start aid complies with FINA regulations and can be used in both training and competition, helping athletes achieve explosive starts without slipping.
Unlike expensive automatics, the FINIS Backstroke Start Aid is manually adjusted and can be installed in a variety of ways to fit all standard starting platforms. Besides, athletes can easily adjust the height of this device through five different settings to optimize their backstroke start.
- FINIS collaborated with Vince Harris at WEDG Swim Start Systems (County Cork, Ireland) to develop the FINIS Backstroke Start Aid. Vince is an Irish engineer and swimmer's father who started making his own support equipment for his daughter's swim team after learning how expensive it was. He had only one goal: to create an affordable alternative that fits all standard starting platforms.
