Upgrade your aquatic facility with our industry-leading custom backstroke flags, designed to meet all FINA, NCAA, USA, and NFHS regulations. These 11" x 14.5" standard size backstroke flags are crafted from durable oxford nylon and are available in a massive variety of colors. Perfect as personalized pool pennants, facilities can opt for plain flags or fully printed backstroke flags to showcase letters, numbers, or unique designs, making them ideal team logo swim flags.
These competitive swim backstroke flags serve as highly visible swimming pool lane flags to ensure swimmer safety and meet compliance. We provide everything you need for your backstroke flag line—from 3/16" braided nylon cord and zinc-plated swivel hooks for a standard setup, to a heavy-duty backstroke flag take up reel and stainless steel cable for ultimate tension. Whether you need standard oxford nylon swim flags or completely customized aquatic flags for an upcoming meet, these 11x14.5 backstroke flags from the trusted Competitor brand swim flags lineup represent the pinnacle of professional swimming pool equipment.
Flags can be ordered plain or printed. Note that you must purchase the flag and also the print charge per location. If using a logo there is an additional set up charge per color and the print fee is per location per color. Call us at 800-811-1931 and we can help with a written quote for exactly what you need. We make it easy to get a quote and order.
Mounting is easy using nylon braided cord. To assemble your length of backstroke flags you will need enough cord to cross your pool and connect to the sides, 1 flag for every 12" of cord is recommended and 2 zinc plated swivel hooks (1 for each end) are needed to connect to your pool side hook ups.
Upgrade your lines: Get more tension on your lines with the alternative set up of using our take up reel with vinyl coated cable. If using this method you will need enough steel cable to reach both sides, a take up reel on one side and a wrench to tighten it- the other size will need the steel spring and cable lock.
All components sold separately. Must be assembled by the customer. Ships factory direct.
