OBL2 PRO - BACKSTROKE LEDGE
The Backstroke Ledge is the ideal complement to
the starting blocks OSB11 and OSB14 for backstroke
swimming starts.
The Backstroke Ledge OBL2 Pro received FINA‘s
approval during its December 2014 Convention in
Doha.
The second generation of this device brings many
advantages to backstroke swimmers:
First of all, it improves the start push and trajectory of the
swimmer when entering the water. The angle made by the
legs in relation to the water surface during the final push
off the wall is greater, and as a result, the swimmer‘s feet
travel the path during the start phase of flight with less
contact to the water.
TOP FEATURES
■■ 5 different adjustment positions with a manual
rotating system
■■ Greater angle between the legs and water level
■■ Anti-skid surface
■■ Robustness
■■ Thicker handle for a better grip
■■ Simply and easily mounted and removed
■■ Safety clasp already mounted
■■ Full FINA compliance
■■ Fully compatible with OSB11, OSB12 and OSB14
The Backstroke Ledge can be adjusted to every swimmer‘s
size. The length can be set to 5 different positions using a
manual rotating system.
Also, the grip mechanism of the Backstroke is covered
with an anti-skid surface which avoids slipping and thus,
provides more confidence to the swimmers at the entrance
in the water.
This new system is simply and easily mounted onto the
starting blocks with some pins and can be removed by
an official once the race has begun not to bother the
swimmers during the competition.
And last but not least, thanks to the Backstroke Ledge
the swimmers gain in power and force when entering the
water and therefore, achieve best performances.

HIGHER PERFORMANCES BY REDUCING
THE CONTACT WITH THE WATER
Using this device, the angle between the legs and the
water surface during the final push off the wall is greater.
As a result, the swimmer’s feet travel the path during the
start phase of flight with less contact with the water.
The height of the backstroke ledge can be adjusted to 5 different
positions using a manual rotating system
