Looking for lane ropes and recommendations on starting block upgrades

The Meredith Townes Mudpuppies are looking to upgrade their lane ropes and starting blocks. If you have (4) 25 meter ropes in good condition to sell (or gift!) please contact Steve at steve@sageanalyticalsciences.com.

Also, we are looking for recommendations on updating our starting blocks. The starting block frames are sound, so would just be interested in new decking. Over the years we have visited pools who seem to have custom fabricated decking; anyone with suggestions or names of individuals who have done this sort of thing previously, we'd love to be in contact with them. Please email to same address as above.

Thanks!
