S.R. Smiths Velocity Advantage Starting Platforms with TrueTread are engineered to deliver exceptionally fast, solid starts for competitive swimmers. Constructed using a fiberglass footboard, it has outstanding strength and is mounted to a marine-grade HDPE composite base. When you combine the high-traction TrueTread surface with a stable, performance-focused platform design, you get secure footing in wet conditions, reduced risk of slips, and more power and confidence off the block in every race.
The Velocity Advantage features three integrated backstroke handholds for a secure, consistent grip. Its Track Start wedge adjusts to five positions to accommodate a range of starting preferences, and conveniently tucks beneath the footboard when not in use, leaving a clean, unobstructed surface. It is compatible with both Colorado Time and Daktronics timing systems. Together, these features make the Velocity Advantage an ideal choice for facilities that want to give their athletes every competitive edge. By pairing versatile Track Start adjustability with secure backstroke handholds, this platform helps swimmers start faster and more confidently in every event.
The TrueTread surface is available in Blue, Red, Tan, Gray, and Yellow. The Velocity Advantage gives your deck a clean, professional presentation. Upgrading to Velocity Advantage platforms is an investment in performance, safety, and the overall quality of your competition venue.
