Swimlanes is part of Leicon, a Belgian company specialized in designing indoor playgrounds for professionals. We supply throughout Europe but export a lot to the USA.
During the corona crisis, production stopped and we suddenly had time to spare, something we are not used to. As addicted open-water swimmers, we were also looking for water. The pools were closed and hanging from a rubber band in a small pool is not the same as real swimming. Built-up pools sold online are fun to play in, but doing real laps is impossible. And a built-in pool is expensive and involves too much.
The employees of Leicon went looking for a cheap alternative, which is nevertheless very solid. Quick to assemble and low maintenance. And above all, not expensive. Thanks to our sail-making shop, the guys from the metal department and CNC-controlled machines in the panel sawmill, we managed to launch a finished product in 4 weeks that meets our expectations and those of other swimmers. Since then, recreational and competitive swimmers, triathletes and open water swimmers have been enjoying our swim lanes or Swimlanes.
