About Competitor Swim®

Competitor Swim® was established with the introduction of the Non-Turb™ Racing Lane at the 1968 Summer Olympics. This lane set a standard in the industry, as it was the first flexible swim lane to effectively dissipate turbulent water while simultaneously creating a wave control barrier for optimum racing conditions.

The Competitor Swim® Racing Lane eventually evolved into today’s Gold Medal Racing Lane™ whose patented technology was introduced at the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. Competitor’s Gold Medal Racing Lane™ has proudly been the choice of 10 of the past 13 Olympic Games, most recently at the 2016 Rio Games.

Closer to home, Competitor Swim® Racing Lanes have been used in countless Men’s & Women’s NCAA Championships, numerous high school State Championships and USA Swimming events across the country.

Every customer is different. Every pool is different. We believe each and every lane should be built specifically for each customer. All of our lane lines are custom built by hand with pride, passion, and expertise. We take great pride in the fact that all Competitor Swim® Racing Lanes are manufactured and assembled PROUDLY in AMERICA.

Competitor Swim®’s line of products also includes Stor Lane Reels, Pace Clocks, EZ Lock Floats, and Backstroke Flags. We bring the same passion and commitment to each of these swimming accessories, as we do to our lanes and the sport of swimming.
