To determine how many flags you need for your pool, determine the width of your pool in inches and divide by 13. This should be your number of flags. For example, a 54 foot wide pool is 648 inches. Divide by 13 to get 49.84.... You may round down to 48, 49 or up to 50 flags. You may also select fewer flags as ideally you should have just enough flags to be seen. If you want 2 ropes multiply the number of flags needed by 2.
Select how many of each color flag you need and add each to your cart or quote.
Add the correct length of rope to your order. For example two 45' lengths of flags would be a total of 90' of rope. Add to your cart or quote.
Add the number of swivels hooks you need. You will need 2 per length of flags. Add to your cart or quote.
If you want custom printed flags you will need to include the proper number of print charges. This charge is per flag so if you want the word "EAGLES" printed on your flags with 1 letter per flag you will need to add 6 print locations. This is just a print charge and does not include a flag. Add to cart or quote.
If you would like a logo printed on any flags you will need to include a pattern charge to your order. One pattern charge per logo. This is in addition to the above printed flag charge.

FAQ Section
1. What makes these 12x18 backstroke flags different from standard nylon flags? These 12x18 backstroke flags are made from a durable vinyl coated nylon material. This heavier construction makes them much stronger than typical thin nylon flags, ensuring they withstand heavy wind, water, and sun exposure in both indoor and outdoor pool environments.
2. What size are these heavy duty pool lane flags? Each of these heavy duty pool lane flags measures 12 inches wide by 18 inches long. This larger size offers maximum visibility for swimmers approaching the pool wall.
3. What colors are available for the vinyl coated swimming flags? Our vinyl coated swimming flags come in a vibrant assortment of colors to match your team or facility, including White, Red, Bright Green, Royal Blue, Yellow, Black, Purple, and Navy.
4. How do I calculate how many custom backstroke flags I need? To determine your flag count, measure the width of your pool in inches and divide by 13 (accounting for the 12" flag width plus a 1" space between flags). If you are building two lines of custom backstroke flags, simply multiply that final number by two!
5. Can I get custom printing on these vinyl pool pennants? Yes! You can customize these vinyl pool pennants with a 1-color, 1-side lettering print. You simply need to add a "1 Color 1 Side Lettering Per Flag" charge for each flag you want printed (e.g., to spell "EAGLES", you'd add 6 print charges to your cart).
6. Do you offer custom team logo pool flags? Absolutely. If you want custom team logo pool flags, we can print your facility or mascot logo onto the vinyl. This requires adding a one-time "Pattern Charge For Custom Logo" to your order, in addition to the individual flag print charges.
7. Is the backstroke flag rope included with the flags? No, because you build your own custom string, the backstroke flag rope is sold separately by the foot. You will need to calculate the total length needed to span your pool (and multiply by two if you need two separate lines).
8. What hardware do I need to hang my indoor and outdoor backstroke flags? To properly hang your indoor and outdoor backstroke flags, you will need to purchase our high-quality zinc plated swivels. You will need exactly 2 swivel hooks per length of flag line to secure it to your pool's anchor points.
9. Can I return or exchange customized pool flags? Because you are building a custom line and we print to order, there are no returns or exchanges on our customized pool flags. We encourage you to double-check your pool measurements before ordering!
10. How can I get help placing my order for commercial swimming pool flags? We know building a custom flag line can be tricky! You can call us directly at 1-800-811-1931. One of our professional, friendly customer service reps will be happy to guide you through the process of ordering your commercial swimming pool flags, just like we do for facilities all across the country.
