If you’re familiar with Competitor Swim, you know we have a long history of offering high-quality backstroke flags designed for durability, visibility, and performance. But we decided not to stop there, but rather make it easier for coaches, aquatic directors, and pool managers to source a complete backstroke flag system. To do that, we have added stanchion poles and collars to complete our flag lineup.
What Are Stanchion Posts?
Stanchion posts are the vertical support structures that hold backstroke flags in place across a pool. These posts, often made of stainless steel, are essential for both competitive and training environments.
Designed for Flexibility and Performance
Competitor’s stanchion poles and sliding collars are built to fit a wide range of pool environments. With multiple stainless steel options and wall thicknesses available, it’s easy to find the right solution for your facility’s specifications. We also offer sliding collars for stanchion posts, making it simple to position and secure backstroke flags and streamline the installation process.
Competitor Swim Backstroke Flags
Competitor Swim backstroke flags are built for performance and designed to stand out. Made from durable Oxford nylon and available in a wide range of colors, they meet all FINA, NCAA, USA Swimming, and NFHS regulations while elevating the look of your pool.
We also make it easy to customize backstroke flags with numbers, letters, or a team logo. Whether you’re matching team colors, sponsor branding, or want an event to feel more cohesive, our Backstroke Flag Wizard makes it easy to bring your vision to life.
