Backstroke starting ledge.

Hi all. I am trying to make a "home made" ledge to practice with. I found the approx. size but, did not come across the depth below the water line allowed. Does anyone know this measurement or where i can find it? thanks to all that reply.

  • Well try # 2 has worked out. I have used a piece of 1 1/2 inch PVC from home Depot. Drilled one hole in opposite end to run nylon rope thru to go around whatever block post/poles that you will be using with the starting block and used a caibineer to hold the 2 ends together with loops at the ends. This seems to work well as 4 of us tried it a practice last night. At least it will give me a chance to practice some type of starting ledge before Nationals.
