The structure is connected to the edge of the pool through angles designed from time to time that contain the safety mechanisms of the bottom, all is made of stainless steel, so to obtain a movable floor to be positioned according to the necessities. It also has one or more hatches for regular pool cleaning, maintenance and inspection of the entire structure and handling systems.
Sparger System
AIR SYSTEM FOR WATER MOVEMENT
This system has been created to generate a uniform mixture of air and water at the point of impact off the dive. A system of diffusers installed at the bottom of the pool, located along each spring board, creates a system of micro-bubbles controlled by the trainer, achieving the effect of an airbag in order to ‘protect the diver. Thanks to this cushion of air/water, the athlete can concentrate on the execution of the dive reducing to a minimum the risk of an injury.
