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.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFINIS 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"pdp-button-text\"\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-type=\"information-content-text\" class=\"product-details-information-tab-content-container tb-container-col collapse in\" id=\"product-details-features\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-details-information-tab-content-container-main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fab-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePRACTICE BEFORE COMPETITION:\u003c\/b\u003e The most affordable way for swimmers to practice with a backstroke wedge before championship swim meets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEXPLOSIVE RACE START:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates slipping, adding power and agility to swimmer's backstroke start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFITS ALL STANDARD BLOCKS:\u003c\/b\u003e Compatible with single-post, two-post, four-post and large-base blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEASY ADJUSTMENTS:\u003c\/b\u003e Swimmers can easily customize the wedge height through five different settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOFFICIAL COMPLIANCE:\u003c\/b\u003e FINA FR 2.10-compliant for practice and competition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMATERIAL:\u003c\/b\u003e Made from Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TheTechSuitSupplier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53031811809617,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/7338\/7345\/files\/1.30.031-Studio.Main-01.jpg?v=1770901184","url":"https:\/\/thetechsuitsupplier.com\/products\/finis-backstroke-wedge","provider":"TheTechSuitSupplier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
