Movable Bulkheads

“Movable Bulkheads Since 1971”

Paddock movable bulkheads span the width of the pool and can be easily moved to different positions to create varying courses for competition (50 meter, 25 meter, 25 yards, etc. ) or general use. They also divide the pool into sections, so lap swimming can be conducted on one side, and recreation, instruction, or diving on the other. A key benefit to the Paddock bulkhead is its flow-through design. Bulkheads are custom built for the individual pool but are usually 4, 5, or 6 feet wide, 4 feet deep, and 45, 60, or 75 feet in length. Paddock has been manufacturing movable bulkheads since 1971.

Standard Features:

The corrosion resistant Type 316L stainless steel frame is engineered for structural stability

Flow-through, slip-resistant PVC targets with 32% open area are installed at each racing lane to (1) facilitate movement, (2) allow circulation of chemically treated water inside the bulkhead to prevent algae growth, and (3) provide a textured surface for flip turns

A combination of fixed and variable bouyancy allows the bulkhead to be quickly and easily moved to alternate locations

Wheels or skids are used to mount the bulkhead to the gutter or deck, depending on the pool design

Each bulkhead is pre-fitted with accessories for attachment of racing lines, installation of platforms and handrails, and connection to electronic devices
