Swimming Pool Lane Ropes

Championships, the BCN03 Lane rope is a significant technological breakthrough in competition swimming pools as it obtains maximum absorption of the waves created by swimmers, helping the water surface to be as flat as possible.Developed and patented for the 2003 Swimming World.

Biomechanical tests results carried out by the Applied Hydrodynamics Institute (INHA) in July 2003:

The BCN03 lane ropes reduce waves inside the lanes by 80%. As a result, the wave caused by a swimmer when swimming is practically absorbed, without causing noticeable reflection effects.

The new floats absorb up to 50% more waves than the conventional ones. Each lane of the swimming pool is least affected by the adjacent lane.

Operation

Each float has an interior mechanism consisting of 24 turbines distributed on six shafts. The wave of water makes the turbines turn, converting the kinetic energy into mechanical energy, which is then dissipated by friction, thus preventing it from continuing into the next lane. Each turbine can turn freely on its axis and the entire float unit can also rotate around the cable.

The outer shell is manufactured in two technical plastic parts, built to prevent swimmers hurting themselves on colliding with it. The inner parts are made of polythene and polypropylene. Colours available: white, blue, red and green.

The same float unit is available in an Eco version, which has the same shell appearance and the same colours but without the inner turbine mechanism.

The lane ropes are supplied with float units and Stainless Steel 6 mm cable and hook.

The Rome model competition lane rope is supplied with floats, polyester cord and hook. Lane ropes can be supplied in any length, colour combination and rope material upon request.

The Moscow model competition lane rope is supplied with floats, polyester cord and hook. Lane ropes can be supplied in any length, colour combination and rope material upon request.

The Barcelona model competition lane rope is supplied with floats, polyester cord and hook. Lane ropes can be supplied in any length, colour combination and rope material upon request.

The France model competition lane rope is supplied with floats, polyester cord and hook. Lane ropes can be supplied in any length, colour combination and rope material upon request.

A new trolley designed to transport and store lane ropes after use in the swimming pool. The lane rope storage basket is manufactured of AISI-316 Stainless Steel and includes a PVC bag for collecting excess water from the float lines. Due to the bag's bottom outlets, it is emptied in a controlled manner with no water spillage. The trolley has four castor wheels for maximum mobility. Two of these fitted with brakes. It can store a lane rope up to 50 m long (or 2 of 25) and can be used for all lane rope models.

The swimming pool lane rope roller is made in Stainless Steel AISI-304, fitted with a large wheel for operation. It is mounted on 4 castor wheels for easy handling, two of these are fitted with brakes.
