Competition Swimming Pool Equipment
Competition pool equipment made in Egypt: lane ropes, starting blocks, lane rollers, anchor cups and AISI 304 accessories. ISO 9001 factory in Badr City.
One Factory for the Whole Competition Pool
After three decades fitting out racing pools, I can tell you the difference between a smooth handover and a painful one is usually the supply chain. Waterstar manufactures the full competition package in our ISO 9001 factory in Badr City: swim lines, starting blocks, lane rollers, anchor cups and the small stainless hardware that holds everything together. Because every component comes off one production line, the wire locks fit the wires, the springs match the lines and the anchor cups accept the hooks without improvisation on site. Competition pools laid out to FINA and World Aquatics lane conventions need that consistency, and we ship it ready to install across Egypt and 14 MENA export markets.
Lane Systems: Swim Lines and Deck Anchoring
The heart of any racing pool is the lane system. Our SW-1 swim line is built metre by metre with 10 floaters, 10 donut floaters and 1 m of stainless steel wire 4 mm in diameter, on a nylon or stainless steel rope with AISI 304 accessories. It terminates at the deck in our anchor cups, ACC-1 for concrete pools and ACL-1 for liner pools, which sit flush so swimmers and officials never trip over hardware. Read the dedicated lane ropes and anchor cups pages for the full detail; together they form a tensioned system that quells waves lane by lane and keeps racing water calm from the first heat to the last.
Starting Blocks and Line Hardware
A start is won on grip and rigidity. Our SB-1-40 starting block carries a fiber-reinforced anti-slip polyester platform on a stainless steel base, a 40 cm one-step unit suited to training and club competition pools alike. Around the lanes we manufacture the supporting hardware that most suppliers import: the SH-1 wire lock that grips the lane wire, the SS-1 stainless steel spring that keeps lines drum-tight through temperature swings and daily use, and the FLS-1 front line stabilizer that keeps the leading line true. These are small parts, but any coach will tell you a sagging lane line ruins a session faster than anything else on the deck.
Storage Discipline and One-Factory Supply
How a facility stores its lane ropes decides how long they last. Our LR-1 stainless steel float lane roller, made from AISI 304 with a 1.3 m diameter, 1.2 m width and 25 m rope capacity, lets staff wind lines off the water instead of dragging them across the deck. That single habit protects floaters, wires and pool edges for years. Everything on this page is manufactured by Waterstar in Egypt under ISO 9001 and exported to 14 MENA countries. Ask our engineers for a complete competition package from one factory: lanes, blocks, anchors, springs and rollers, specified together and delivered together.
Lane Rope
SW-1
Competition swim lane line. Each metre carries 10 floaters and 10 donut floaters on a nylon or stainless-steel cable, with all fittings in AISI 304 stainless.
Anchor Cup
ACC-1
Made in two versions: for concrete pools and for liner pools. Anchor cup for concrete pools — the socket that is cast into the pool deck or wall to receive lane-line hooks, safety-rope hooks and pool ladders, finishing flush with the deck so nothing protrudes when the accessory is removed.
Anchor Cup
ACL-1
Made in two versions: for concrete pools and for liner pools. Anchor cup for liner (vinyl) pools — the same lane-line and safety-rope socket as the concrete version, with a flanged body and sealing gasket that clamps the liner between two faces so the membrane stays watertight.
Lane Rope Wire Lock
SH-1
Wire lock for competition lane lines — clamps the lane-line cable at the required length and locks it against the tensioning fitting so the line cannot slip once tensioned.
Lane Rope Tensioning Spring
SS-1
Stainless-steel tension spring for competition lane lines — absorbs the shock loads from swimmers and turns, keeps the lane line under constant tension and protects the anchor cups and hooks from overload.
Front Line Stabiliser
FLS-1
Front line stabilizer for competition lane lines — the end fitting that sits between the lane rope and the anchor-cup hook, keeping the line taut and level so the discs stay in position and wave-quelling performance is maintained across the lane.
Float Lane Roller
LR-1
Float lane roller in stainless steel AISI 304, 1.3 m diameter and 1.2 m wide, holding 25 m of lane rope per reel. The roller stores competition lane lines off the deck between sessions, so the floaters are not crushed underfoot and the cables do not kink, and one person can reel a line in or pay it...
Starting Block
SB-1-40
Starting block, 40 cm, one-step, with a fibre-reinforced polyester anti-slip platform on a stainless steel base, for training and competition pools.
