Product Overview

The S.R. Smith Challenge Swim-N-Dunk Basketball Game | BASK-CH is a premium residential poolside basketball system designed for in-ground swimming pools. Featuring a durable dual-post 304 stainless-steel frame, clear acrylic backboard, regulation-size rim, and removable deck-anchor installation, the Challenge brings a sturdy, competition-style basketball experience directly to the pool.

The continuous single-piece rail design reduces assembly hardware while providing a clean, stable installation. When basketball season is over, the entire game can be removed from the deck anchors for storage.

Warranty & Compatibility

Installation Information

The BASK-CH is designed for permanent deck-anchor installation around an in-ground swimming pool while allowing the basketball structure itself to be removed when desired.

The system uses a 12-inch setback from the pool edge to the center of the anchor location. Correct anchor placement is critical for proper installation and basketball positioning.

Professional installation is recommended when installing new deck anchors, particularly in existing concrete pool decks.

Existing Anchor Compatibility

The Challenge is designed to work with compatible existing S.R. Smith Swim-N-Dunk basketball anchors, making it a useful replacement or upgrade for certain older S.R. Smith basketball systems.

Existing anchor spacing and setback should always be measured before ordering a replacement game.

Confirm Before Ordering

Confirm the following before purchase:

• S.R. Smith part number BASK-CH
• 12" anchor setback
• Dual-post configuration
• Available pool-deck space

Important: BASK-CH should not be confused with S-BASK-CH, the Salt Friendly Challenge version featuring additional SealedSteel coating on the uprights.

Warranty Information

The S.R. Smith Challenge BASK-CH is backed by a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty, subject to S.R. Smith's current warranty terms, installation requirements, maintenance, and exclusions.
