The Microgate swimming system, based on ReiPro<\/b> and LinkPod<\/b>, manages competitions in 25 m or 50 m pools with 6 to 10 lanes, without requiring a PC for race management. The system integrates with ALGE touchpads and starting blocks and allows connection of monitors and a mouse for easier race control. ReiPro timer automates unlimited heats, calculating turns based on distance and stroke (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly). It manages active or empty lanes, disqualifications and withdrawals in real time, adapting to every competition level, from elite events to youth and Masters races, with flexible lane configurations (0\u20139, 1\u201310) and all relay formats. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Microgate swimming system offers maximum flexibility: it manages manual races with lane buttons only or fully automatic configurations. These include electronic starts, touchpads on both pool ends, starting blocks for false start or relay takeover detection, and dedicated sensors for backstroke starts. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\tContact Us \n\t<\/a>\t\t\n<\/div>\n

For manual swimming competitions, Microgate uses the ReiPro<\/strong> timer connected to LinkPod<\/strong> modules. The system does not use touchpads: starts, turns and finishes are detected through dedicated lane buttons. Variable-length cables allow timekeepers to position themselves optimally to verify the swimmers\u2019 touch, ensuring high precision even without touchpads. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

In single-side automatic swimming competitions, the Microgate system uses the ReiPro<\/strong> timer connected to an electronic acoustic\/visual starting system. On the finish side, ALGE touchpads and backup buttons are connected to LinkPod<\/strong> modules (one every 4 lanes). This configuration guarantees precise touch timing together with manual backup data, ensuring maximum reliability for judges and timekeepers. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

The double-side automatic swimming<\/strong> system uses the ReiPro<\/strong> timer with ALGE touchpads also installed on the turn side, connected by cable through standard LinkPods or via a wireless LinkPod solution that removes poolside cabling. An electronic acoustic\/visual starting system is integrated. The system allows judges and timekeepers to provide backup data to verify correct swimmer touches on both the finish and turn sides. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
