About

A small workshop that builds one line at a time.

In short

A&T Precision Works is run by Alicia and Todd Todhunter from a workshop in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. They hand-build custom backstroke flags for swim teams across Canada, printed with each team’s own logo and colours, and every set is made for one pool. Quotes are by phone or through the quote form.

What we make

Backstroke flags: the pennant lines strung across a pool 5.0 metres from each end wall so a swimmer on their back knows the wall is coming. Ours are built by hand with your team’s artwork applied, in whatever configuration your pool and your club need. In the owners’ own words from the original site: “Everything is thought through with pool water in mind. Materials that can stand up to the conditions and stay looking sharp for years.”

The finished pennants are triangular, printed, with a sewn hem along the top edge, strung on braided line. Designs can be printed on both sides so the logo reads from either end of the pool.

Where we are

The workshop is in Port Coquitlam, in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, and the flags go to teams across the country. The old website was hosted on a Google service that was shut down in 2024, which is why the business dropped out of search for a while. The work never stopped; the website did. This site replaces it.

How an order works

Send the pool width, the lane count and your artwork, or call and talk it through. We size the line to your pool, confirm the design with you, and build it. If you are not sure what to measure, the measurement guide and the flag line calculator cover it.
