Movable bulkhead
Most commonly found in large vessels such as 50m pools, a moveable bulkhead allows for an abundance of liquid space to be divided into smaller, more manageable subsets of water tailored to specific groups or activities.
Placement of the bulkhead at the proper spots makes possible a full utilization of the facility, with multiple unrelated activities conducted at the same time without conflict.
Unlike many competing systems, the Myrtha Pools moveable bulkhead system offers a clear advantage in accuracy. With a bulkhead placed at one end of the pool, the full 50 meters can be used for long-course racing. Shorter courses for swimming and water polo are also accurately attained, and thanks to the millimetric precision inherent to the Myrtha system, all these configurations will meet the demanding standards of aquatic governing bodies such as FINA.
Drawing rigidity from its stainless-steel structure, the bulkhead spans the width of the pool without flexing or bending. The whole structure rests upon wheels, which roll over rails installed into the deck surface. The ease of movement is enhanced by a pair of large stainless steel flywheels located on both ends of the bulkhead. Those big captain’s wheels are geared to a double chain mechanism that makes moving the bulkheads easy.
Myrtha also offers a magnetic traction system that can be used to move and position the bulkhead mechanically. This eliminates the effort that would otherwise be needed to move the bulkhead manually, and it also keeps the deck and bulkheads clean and clear.

The “split-in-two” movable bulkhead
Our FINA-approved two-piece moveable bulkhead is a groundbreaking two-bulkheads-in-one solution that gives aquatic coordinators added flexibility and control over space. The Split Bulkhead makes it easy to create one, two or even three distinct pool areas. Sharing pool space among different user groups has never been easier, especially with an option that allows for lane lines to travel straight through the bulkhead.
The Flow-Through Bulkhead
A key feature to Myrtha’s bulkhead system is the use of a vertically slatted surface on the bulkhead walls. This approach allows much of the energy generated by an oncoming swimmer to dissipate during the turn phase of competitive swimming. This key attribute allows for less turbulence in the water, thus a better opportunity for all of the participants to swim fast.
