C & H Products, European manufacturer and distributor of the Anti Wave brand of leisure and professional swimming products, has unveiled their new modified Maxi Racing Lane.

Working in conjunction with swimmers and coaches to develop the product, the company has improved the Maxi Racing Lane by increasing its buoyancy in the water. As a result it offers a more effective racing lane providing a much greater barrier against waves created by swimmers.

Andrew Hawtin, managing director of C & H Products, said: "We decided that we could improve an already popular product by increasing its flotation in the water. "Tooling was modified and floats added at every Maxi Disc along the racing lane.

"Although this increased the initial cost of manufacturing, we've managed to maintain our cost base due to productivity improvements within our own manufacturing processes in the UK." Founded by former professional water polo player Anti Kajlich, Anti Wave equipment was first selected for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich and has been used extensively in national and international competitions ever since.
