Sometimes two swimmers from the same club swim in the same heat/final. In this case, if there’s no help available, it’s possible to use two stopwatches to record their individual splits.

To test the effectiveness of a swimmer’s racing start, a coach should record a swimmer’s racing start speed. In this mode, you can turn the stopwatch on and off by pressing the START / STOP button (top right) and the stopwatch shows the measured time. You can interrupt the time measurement with the same button and resume it. In the measuring mode, the stopwatch shows a three-line display. The bottom line runs from 0, the line above it shows LAP TIME, or the time of one round. The row above shows SPLIT TIME, or the total time from start to lap time after a given number of rounds.

The running time shown on a swimming stopwatch display should be the cumulative lap running time, whilst functions such as stroke rate and pacer timing are also useful. The stroke rate is used to calculate your total strokes per minute, whilst a pacer can be used to set a required stroke rate. This FINIS Stopwatch will simplify improving lap times. We know time is everything and, when it comes to swimming, accurate timing makes a good swimmer even better. This allows for 300 splits and review of both cumulative and lap splits.

However, this can become difficult if the last swimmer in a lane hasn’t finished the first repeat, before the lead swimmer needs to start the next repeat.
