COMPETITIVE SWIMMING
Games and play activities in the water create moments of connection among students and bring more joy and relaxation to the classes. With this in mind, Floty developed the Games Line to add more dynamism and engagement to lessons, while encouraging sports practice. Without a doubt, it's a great tool for instructors to break the routine and excite and entertain their students. Join the adventure!
STARTING BLOCKS FLOTY
The standard FINA (International Swimming Federation) starting blocks are platforms used by swimmers to propel themselves at the start of a race.
These blocks are designed following specific FINA regulations to ensure uniformity and safety in international competitions.
Height and Angle: They have a specific height, usually between 0.5 and 0.75 meters above the water surface. The surface of the block is slightly inclined forward to help swimmers gain momentum.
Size and Material: The platform should have a non-slip surface and be large enough for the swimmer to securely position their feet.
Horizontal Tube: Sometimes called a "Grip," this allows swimmers to hold onto it while preparing for the start in backstroke races.
Starting blocks are a crucial part of competitive swimming, as a strong start can make all the difference in the overall performance of the race.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE FOR 304 AND 304L STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is a noble material, similar to silver, and requires some maintenance care. It is important to clean it every 7 days at most, to ensure the piece remains polished and shiny. We recommend using automotive wax for cleaning, as it helps protect the stainless steel and prevents the formation of corrosion, which causes stains on the surface. Use small brushes for hard-to-reach corners, and never use steel or metal brushes, as they can scratch the stainless steel.

SWIMMING POOL LANES
Since 1992, we have named our lane models after cities that have hosted the Olympics. The lanes are used to delimit swimming areas and help organize the flow of swimmers. They also improve visibility and guide athletes during competitions.
According to the International Swimming Federation (FINA), the measurements and specifications for the lanes are as follows:
Ancho de los Carriles: Cada carril debe tener un ancho mínimo de 2,5 metros. En competiciones de nivel internacional, se recomienda que los carriles tengan entre 2,5 y 3,0 metros de ancho para ofrecer más espacio y comodidad a los nadadores.
Distancia Entre Carriles: Los carriles están separados por corredores que generalmente tienen un ancho de 0,3 a 0,5 metros. Sin embargo, en competiciones de alto nivel, este espacio puede ajustarse para garantizar un entorno de competencia más justo y seguro.
Número de Carriles: Para competiciones internacionales, la piscina debe tener un mínimo de 8 carriles, pero puede tener hasta 10, dependiendo del evento. Para eventos más pequeños o entrenamientos, una piscina puede tener menos carriles, generalmente entre 4 y 6.
LANES ASSEMBLED WITH RED ENDS (EXTREMITIES)
In competitions, a lane with red ends helps swimmers position themselves correctly and recognize the start or finish point. It is important to note that FINA does not specify a universal rule for the color of lane markings. The color and use of markings may vary depending on the pool and the event.
LANES WITH ANTI-WAVE TECHNOLOGY
They absorb and dissipate the energy of the waves generated by the swimmers, significantly reducing currents and turbulence, creating a more stable swimming surface. The technology utilizes materials with high resistance, durability, and flexibility, ensuring that the system adapts to different usage conditions without interfering with athletes' performance. The Anti-Wave system was designed to ensure that the pool is fully compliant with FINA regulations for international competitions.
