Velocity VR (Varsity Retrofit) Starting Platform With Track Start – TrueTread – No Anchor

The Velocity VR Starting Platform with Track Start and TrueTread is engineered as a convenient upgrade solution for pools equipped with S.R. Smith Varsity starting blocks. This retrofit platform allows aquatic facilities to bring their starting blocks up to current competition standards without new anchors or extensive pool deck modifications. The platform features a Track Start wedge that will help swimmers maximize take-off power and adopt the modern, race-ready stance commonly used in elite competitions. The TrueTread surface delivers exceptional grip and comfort, providing a slip-resistant, cushioned platform that enhances safety and confidence for all athletes. Constructed from durable, commercial-grade powder-coated stainless steel, the Velocity VR is designed to withstand heavy use and exposure to pool chemicals, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor pools. Its installation process is streamlined, as it utilizes the existing Varsity anchor base and requires no drilling. Thus, minimizing downtime and costs for facility operators. This platform is compatible with both Colorado and Daktronics timing systems. The platforms meet FINA, NCAA, NFSH, and USMS competition rules and guidelines. Great for championship venues, training centers, and collegiate programs looking to upgrade their Varsity platforms, preparing for future competitions. Available in your choice of color frame and TrueTread.
