About this asset

This swimming pool starting block Revit family models a competition launch platform with tubular metal framing and an integrated backstroke grab handle. The model features an inclined non-slip top launch platform supported by a structural tubular metal framework. Beneath the forward leading edge, an integrated horizontal grab bar accommodates backstroke competition starts. A secondary lower crossbar step aids swimmer mount and stance positioning. Diagonal struts transfer forward thrust loads into twin vertical anchor stanchions designed for pool deck installation. Clean, angular profiling and distinct material separations between the blue platform tread and metallic base allow legible graphic contrast in standard 3D views and pool equipment layout drawings.

The download is a 297 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Engineered as a lightweight Revit family component, the asset inserts directly into project environments for fast poolside coordination. Load the family into aquatic center models and snap the anchor base to deck slabs at pool lane edges. Standard material parameters facilitate swift override of the traction pad color and metallic finish, while geometric elements maintain clean lines in floor plans, sections, and elevation sheets.

Tailored for competition swimming pools, sports academies, collegiate athletic complexes, and commercial leisure facilities. The starting block coordinates seamlessly with swimming lane markings, pool coping, gutter drainage, and bulkhead assemblies during schematic design and technical detailing stages. Specifiers searching for competition pool blocks, diving platforms, or natatorium equipment will find this asset provides reliable dimensional clearance and visualization support across recreational and institutional documentation packages.
