The OSB12 Starting Platform is an innovative solution for swimming starts. Its unique patented design allows athletes to significantly enhance their explosive starting power due to the optimal angle of the platform and the adjustable foot support. Tests involving professional swimmers have confirmed that the use of the OSB12 platform improves start times compared to using standard starting blocks without foot support. The non-slip surface of the platform ensures maximum safety and comfort for the athlete. The OSB12 Starting Platform easily installs on most existing starting blocks and is available in several color options. The platform is made from reinforced plastic.
