False Start Rope

False Start Rope prevents a swimmer from going any further when a false start is called.

Fina Rules:
FR 2.11 False Start Rope may be suspended across the pool not less than 1.2 metres above the water level from fixed standards placed 15.0 metres in front of the starting end. It shall be attached to the standards by a quick-release mechanism. The rope must effectively cover all lanes when activated.
