Finis Backstroke Start Wedge
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.
