Trusted commercial-grade athletic equipment provider supports The Plunge San Diego by supplying high-quality, durable components for the HydroShot poolside basketball system.
San Diego, CA (PRUnderground) February 23rd, 2026
Institutional Sports Equipment (ISE) is a trusted resource for high-quality, durable athletic equipment for churches, schools, public rec centers, and professional sports facilities. Owner Tom Nicotera carefully evaluates and selects each piece of equipment the company sells based on safety, quality, price, and durability. This year, ISE is once again helping The Plunge San Diego upgrade its equipment by supplying a new backboard and rim for its poolside HydroShot basketball system.
For over 25 years, ISE has offered tailored solutions that anticipate the evolving needs of recreational facilities. Rather than simply being a one-time equipment vendor, Institutional Sports Equipment serves as a reliable long-term partner to all its clients, including The Plunge. By delivering new components for the HydroShot system, originally installed years ago, ISE ensures that guests enjoy a consistently safe and enjoyable play experience, whether playing casual poolside games or competitive aquatic basketball.
Located in the heart of Mission Beach, The Plunge is one of California’s most iconic indoor aquatic centers. As a multipurpose destination offering recreational swimming, fitness programs, and family-friendly entertainment, The Plunge relies on equipment that can withstand heavy daily use and meet the expectations of a broad user base.
“Facilities like The Plunge need equipment that matches the energy and volume of their users,” said Nicotera. “I’m proud to provide them with commercial basketball equipment that holds up to that type of high-energy use, and even prouder to be called on years later to support ongoing performance and safety.”
ISE’s approach goes beyond product delivery. Nicotera consults directly with facility operators to match the right system to the environment and provide responsive service to maintain equipment over time. In high-traffic facilities, especially aquatic ones where exposure to moisture, movement, and temperature shifts can be extreme, durability and commercial quality are non-negotiable.
“At ISE, it’s not just about a one-time equipment sale,” added Nicotera. “My goal is to make sure each client has equipment that allows its facility to continue to thrive, and that organizations like The Plunge have a partner who is as invested in their success as they are.”
From indoor basketball systems and volleyball setups to multi-sport facility planning, the company has built a reputation for commercial reliability and responsive support, with products such as gym wall padding engineered for safety and longevity.
