Variopool is very proud of this collaboration with Swiss Timing and we will take this chance to expand our knowledge of the swimming pool industry and also to position ourselves as an absolute expert and market leader.
PRODUCTS OF SWISS TIMING
To measure the time, a start system and finish detection system is required. The start, operated by an official (the starter), includes voice transmission to signal instructions to the swimmers, and a start device to generate audible and visual signals. The start system distributes the signals to multiple loudspeakers within 1/1000th of a second, counteracting any disadvantage due to the speed of sound across the pool.
A touch panel is mounted on the wall in each swimmers lane. Our patented design registers a touch anywhere on the pad surface, whilst eliminating ghost touches from water movement. Every touch is sent to a central timer, stored and if verified as an official intermediate or finish time, shown on appropriate displays. So the Swiss Timing equipment works really easy for the pool staff.
