Training Mode on the New Championship Elite Start System

Training mode is one of the most valuable features of the Championship Elite Start System.

By using training mode, swimmers can quickly adapt to electronic starting, leading to improved reflexes. Once the training mode is activated through the menu selection, the starter will initiate a countdown, accompanied by a recorded “Take your marks” message. Soon after, a start tone and strobe flash will be triggered. This time span, ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, has been deliberately set to prevent athletes from pacing themselves based on the “take your marks” signal. Instead, it encourages them to always start in response to the start tone and strobe.

"The light is so bright, it's awesome. The training mode is super useful, it keeps the athletes' attention and keeps them moving."

Ethan Hasbury - Loveland Swim Club Jr. Head Swim Coach
