Custom Swim Course Markers & Inflatable Start/Finish Arches

Organizing an open-water swim event, triathlon, or a swimrun race? Inflatable course markers and start/finish gates are essential for safety, visibility, and professional branding with custom printing at your event.

Swim Course Markers

We supply inflatable swim course markers in standard shapes such as pyramids, cubes, and cylinders. Each marker can be customized with event names, sponsor logos, or colors to maximize visibility and brand exposure. Made from strong PVC tarpaulin, they are designed to withstand rough open-water conditions, remain stable throughout the event, and are reusable for future races. Bright colors and clear printing ensure swimmers, safety teams, and spectators can easily follow the course.

Start/Finish Gates

Inflatable start and finish gates create a professional look for your event and highlight key transition areas. They also provide excellent visibility for spectators and media, making them ideal for sponsor branding and memorable finish-line photos. Gates can be produced in PVC tarpaulin for durability or Oxford fabric for a lighter option, depending on your needs. Printing options allow for clear, long-lasting logos and text across the arch.
