Advanced Visual Start Signaling System to Ensure Every Athlete Gets a Fair Start

 

 

Enhance Your Swim Meets with Colorado Time Systems' Visual Start Signaling System

 

In the world of competitive swimming, precision and clarity are paramount. Coaches, officials, and athletes rely on clear, unmistakable signals to ensure a fair and smooth start to every race. That’s where Colorado Time Systems' Visual Start Signaling (VSS) system comes into play — delivering reliable visual cues, especially for athletes who are deaf or hard of hearing.

What is the Visual Start Signaling System?

Our VSS is a state-of-the-art solution designed specifically for starting competitive swimming events.  It provides immediate, highly visible start signals to swimmers and officials, and eliminates the need for swimmers to remove themselves from race-ready posture to look at hand signals on the side of the deck. Whether you're hosting local meets or championship competitions, VSS ensures everyone is on the same page at the start of each race.

How Does It Work?

The VSS integrates with our Championship Elite Start System (SSE) — a proven, advanced swimming start system trusted by top-tier competitions. Leading up to each race, the VSS promptly activates external visual indicators, alerting swimmers to the start signal. 

External Visual Indicators: The Perfect Companion

To complement the VSS, Colorado Time Systems offers External Visual Indicators (EVI) — robust, easy-to-see display units that reinforce start sequence signals with clear visual cues. These indicators can be positioned strategically around the pool deck or under each block, ensuring every swimmer and official can easily see the signal regardless of their vantage point.

Why Choose Colorado Time Systems?

  • Reliability: Our systems are designed for durability and consistent performance in competitive environments.
  • Flexibility: Customizable setups to fit pools of all sizes and meet various competition requirements.
  • Ease of Use: Simple setup and operation, so your officials can focus on managing the meet.
