SRS 12' Olympian Aluminum Board, White & Marine Blue

he S.R. Smith 12-Foot Commercial Olympian Aluminum Diving Board (White) (Part Number 66-209-512-2) is a heavy-duty, all-aluminum commercial springboard engineered for municipal aquatic centers, military training facilities, high school dive wells, and commercial hospitality pools requiring extended forward overhang, enhanced spring leverage, and maximum weather resistance.

Like the 10-foot version, the 12-foot Olympian utilizes an extruded aircraft-grade aluminum alloy design that is impervious to moisture absorption, internal core rot, and delamination.

Construction & Material Architecture

• Structural Extruded Aluminum Alloy: Formed from heat-treated, high-tensile 6000-series structural aluminum alloy extrusions designed to handle continuous high-amplitude cyclic loading without work-hardening or fatigue failure.

• Corrosion & Moisture Resistance: Contains no wood, resin laminates, or porous fillers, preventing water absorption, core rot, mold, or freeze-thaw spalling in cold-climate outdoor pool decks.

• Surface Traction & Finish: Finished with an electrostatically applied, baked-on white epoxy/powder-coat finish integrated with a factory-applied, slip-resistant aggregate top tread compliant with commercial aquatic wet-deck standards.

• Atmospheric Resistance: Formulated to withstand harsh indoor natatorium chloramines, prolonged UV exposure, direct sanitizing chemicals, and coastal/saltwater pool installations.

Dimensional & Mounting Specifications

• Nominal Length: 12'-0" (144 inches / approx. 3.66 m).

• Nominal Width: 18 inches (approx. 45.7 cm).

• Mounting Configuration: Standard commercial 2-hole rear butt-end pattern:

  • Hole Center-to-Center Spacing: 12 inches (30.5 cm).

  • Hole Diameter: Pre-drilled for 1/2" diameter heavy-duty stainless steel mounting bolts.

• Specified Fulcrum Setting (Critical): Factory-calibrated fulcrum placement is centered 60 to 64 inches (nominally 62 inches) forward from the center of the rear mounting holes. Adhering to this dimension maintains proper mechanical flex dynamics and prevents structural over-stressing.

• Commercial Duty Rating: Heavy-duty commercial recreational classification; maximum single-diver weight capacity of 250 lbs (113.4 kg) under standard commercial aquatic codes.

Stand Compatibility & Fulcrum Interface

• Compatible Stands: Engineered for commercial cantilever frames, steel pedestal stands, U-frame bases, and meter stands configured for 12-foot boards (e.g., S.R. Smith Steel Meter Stands, Econoline stands, and standard commercial 2-bend or 3-bend tubular frames).

• Fulcrum Protection: Requires a heavy-duty rubber fulcrum pad (1.90" to 2.375" OD rubber sleeve or clamp-on elastomer pad) secured over the stand fulcrum crossbar to prevent metal-on-metal friction, surface gouging, and chatter during hurdle landings.

• Associated Mounting Hardware: Uses standard commercial mounting bolt sets (1/2" × 4-1/2" or 1/2" × 5" 304/316 stainless steel bolts, neoprene isolation washers to prevent galvanic interaction, lock washers, and acorn nuts).

Weight and Logistics Profile

• Net Unit Weight: Approximately 60 to 70 lbs (approx. 27.2 to 31.8 kg)—significantly lighter than comparable 12-foot composite/wood-core boards.

• Packaged Dimensions: Reinforced heavy-duty corrugated shipping carton measuring approximately 146" L × 20" W × 4" H (approx. 371 cm × 51 cm × 10 cm).

• Packaged Shipping Weight: Approximately 75 to 88 lbs (approx. 34.0 to 39.9 kg).

• Freight Classification & Logistics: Ships exclusively via LTL Freight (typically NMFC Class 70 to 85, subject to standard carrier overlength surcharges for packages exceeding 12 feet).
