Description

Spectrum Aquatics Xcellerator® Dual Post starting blocks give swimmers an extra boost on starts by allowing the rear leg to start at a 90° angle. Every frame is constructed of high-quality US stainless steel, but what really sets our blocks apart from our competitors is the superior nonslip surface. Xcellerato®r block tops are coated with a grit overlay that provides a level of traction not available in competing products, and our plastic block tops, which are made of low-density polyethylene, contain a superior, treaded surface that surpasses industry standards. Spectrum Aquatics’ blocks can accommodate nearly any deck and gutter configuration for both recreational and competition pools and can often be manufactured to fit into existing anchors. The Xcellerator® Starting Platform conforms to World Aquatics, USA Swimming, NCAA and NFHS rulings.

FAQs

What makes the Xcellerator different from standard starting blocks?
The Xcellerator is designed specifically for modern track-start swimming with an adjustable rear wedge system that allows swimmers to customize foot positioning for stronger starts and improved launch mechanics.
Why is the adjustable wedge important?
The wedge allows swimmers to tailor their stance based on personal preference and racing style, helping improve lower body engagement and explosive starts off the platform.
How many wedge positions are available?
The Xcellerator features 12 wedge adjustment settings that allow consistent positioning across all lanes in the facility.

Can custom colors or logos be added?

Yes. The Expansion Block Lock system allows the platform to remain securely anchored during use while still being removable for maintenance or storage.
Why is the dual-post design beneficial?
