S.R. Smith Residential Challenge Pool Basketball Game, Polished Stainless (BASK-CH)
Dual-post stainless hoop for the shallow end.
The S.R. Smith Residential Challenge Pool Basketball Game (BASK-CH) is a Swim N' Dunk dual-post hoop with a one-piece, polished 304 stainless steel frame and a SealedSteel Salt Friendly vinyl-coated rim. S.R. Smith designs it for in-ground pools at shallow water depth areas, with the anchors set 12 inches back from the pool edge, and it drops into existing Swim N' Dunk anchors. S.R. Smith lists anchors with caps as included.
Polished finish on 1.90 in OD tubing, dual-post design.
One-Piece Stainless Frame
The Residential Challenge frame is a continuous, single-piece rail in polished 304 stainless steel, built from 1.90-inch OD tubing on two posts. S.R. Smith uses the one-piece frame for quick and simple installation. Its instructions call for the included anti-seize on all hardware to prevent galling of the stainless steel, and for the backboard and rim to be leveled before the anchor wedge bolts and backboard bolts are fully tightened.
Vinyl-Coated Rim
A Rim Built for Salt
The rim is S.R. Smith's SealedSteel Salt Friendly vinyl-coated rim, which S.R. Smith fits for added durability in harsh environments. The installation instructions list it as the black vinyl Salt Friendly rim, bolted through the backboard to the post mounting plate with four 316 stainless steel tap bolts. Only the rim carries the salt-friendly coating: S.R. Smith lists this polished stainless frame as not salt friendly and sells a separate Residential Salt Friendly game for that.
Anchor sockets sit 12 in back from the pool edge on residential installs.
Fits Your Existing Anchors
The Challenge game installs in existing Swim N' Dunk basketball hoop anchors and uses deck anchors from past S.R. Smith games, so it suits a retrofit. On a new deck, the dual posts sit in 6-inch deep anchor sockets set 12 inches back from the pool edge, bonded per local codes, with the tightening wedges facing away from the pool. To clear the deck, lift the game out and cap the anchors for a flush look.
Who It's For
Shallow-End Play
S.R. Smith designs the Challenge game for in-ground pools, installed at shallow water depth areas.
Swim N' Dunk Retrofits
If your deck already has Swim N' Dunk or earlier S.R. Smith game anchors, the Challenge frame installs into them.
Seasonal Setups
Lift the game out of its anchors and replace it with anchor caps when you want a flush, clear deck.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Clear Acrylic Backboard
The backboard is clear acrylic with screen printing, mounted in a square backboard frame.
Competition Grade Net
S.R. Smith's instructions list a competition grade basketball net for the game.
Ball and Needle Included
S.R. Smith's frame package (69-209-197) includes the frame, a basketball and an inflation needle.
Basic Hand Tools
Assembly calls for a 1/2 inch standard wrench, a 1/2 inch socket wrench and a 7/32 inch Allen wrench.
Anti-Seize Included
S.R. Smith includes anti-seize for all hardware pieces to prevent galling of the stainless steel.
Inspect It Periodically
S.R. Smith asks owners to periodically inspect the rim, backboard and posts for worn parts and keep all hardware properly tightened.
Safety and Installation
S.R. Smith intends this game for shallow water depth areas only. Never dive or jump from any part of the unit, and never hang, climb or stand on the backboard, braces, rim or net. Remove rings, watches and necklaces during play, since they can tangle in the net. Anchor sockets must be bonded per local codes, and S.R. Smith states that an improper installation voids its warranty and may affect user safety.

Let customers speak for us
All I can say is great customer service. Their products are good too
We had the older version and this dropped right in. Great buy!
I can’t wait for my mini Goldendoodle to be buzz for Halloween! It’s not bulky and small that it won’t bother him. He’s 32 lbs and I got the M/L
No issues with it. I received great customer service ensuring I chose the right thing and shipping was really fast.
Can not say enough about the Balboa retro fit system. I’m no expert, but I watched a you tube video and installed it myself. Hot tub is 14 years old and is up and running like new. Very pleased with my purchase. Thank you.
The process was smooth and lights arived as expected. Everything test out in good working order.
Needed to replace the control overlay on our Nordic Impulse hot tub, but could not find out the make or model number of the actual control panel on our tub. By taking measurements and photos or our actual control panel button positions and functions, I was able to narrow down the options. I ordered this overlay as the button positions seemed to be in the right positions, even though the overall size was smaller than the control panel. The overlay works, in that all buttons and functions are in the right place, and the overlay seems to have adhered well to the panel. It is not a perfect match, as it is smaller overall than it should be. But I am happy with the result and will buy an additional identical overlay as a backup in case this one, too, deteriorates at some point. Took a lot of detecting, but the result is successful!
This costume is legit. It has the sparkle, glittery sheen to it like the one used on screen! Very happy with it!!
Excellent service!
PST was great at communicating the status of my order throughout the various stages. I actually did encounter a shipment issue and they handled it without issue. I will be doing business again with them.

My wife has RA and is always uncomfortable. Our hot tub heater failed and all the local shops were not able to assist until November. I was able to order an exact replacement part which was delivered within 3 days the hot tub was up and functioning in three days. I was very impressed with the quality and service.
Good quality just ordered wrong size and also need thicker cover
Fit perfectly, and fast shipping
