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. As the lead swimmer starts the first repeat, the coach starts the first stopwatch. As the swimmer completes the first repeat, the coach should press the lap button. The coach should continue to repeatedly press the lap button as every other swimmer in the lane completes the repeat.

A stopwatch is useful for recording several key training disciplines Using a stopwatch during training In my experience some swimming parents, are only too willing to help, some may even be qualified pool officials and can be a great help. Once they have passed the marker at 10m going into their turn, with their head, the coach should start their stopwatch.Especially when on those occasions you need to record more than two swimmers, but only have two stopwatches. The coach should record this information, while not forgetting to adjust each swimmer’s time according to the times of their intervals. For example: Lead swimmer = lap time +0 seconds, 2 nd swimmer = lap time + 5/10 seconds, 3 rd swimmer = lap times + 10/20 etc. FINIS are transformative within swim training. An example of their transformation is their Training Aids. They have a wide variety that are engineered to aid and develop your swimming in training.

The personal trainers by FINIS are great for all levels from beginners to elite. The stopwatch can also measure the time of one lap, simply by pressing the LAP / SPLIT button after each lap. The lap time is then displayed in the middle row and the total time is counted in the bottom line. However, to clearly see the time of one turn, you can use the MODE button to switch the stopwatch to the next mode where the lap time always points to the main bottom line.

Measuring up to ten hours by 1/100th of a second, these specialist stopwatches automatically calculate stroke rate, allowing you to see the first and second finishing times in the same view. Recording an individual swimmer during competition is often more than just recording their race time. That’s the job of the timekeeper. This stopwatch has consistently been ranked as the best watch for swim coaches among a wild majority of the coaches I’ve talked to. The swimmer starts this drill in the water, from the middle of the pool of a 25m pool. (or 12.5m from the pool end for a 50m pool) Lastly, we have the Accusplit 500. The Accusplit watches tend to get a fairly divided response from coaches when asked about it: those who love it really love it (particularly lefties that appreciate the twin left-right button set up) while those who don’t, well, you know.The Best Lap Counters for Swimmers.On the lower tech side of things are finger-mounted lap counters. They are cheap, reliable, and surprisingly durable. Stroke rate calculator mode: This function is used primarily for swimming and measures strokes per minute. Typically, you would enter this mode then press the appropriate button when a stroke is completed. We recommended and I personally use a FINIS 3×100 Memory Stopwatch, which I find very reasonably priced, easy to use and very reliable. This is more than just some old stopwatch. It allows for the review of the current memory while taking splits. That's right no need to stop the watch to review memory! It clearly displays cumulative running time and current lap running time. Here's how a FINIS swim stopwatch can help your times:

At the right bottom, you can find the MODE button with you can switch between the 4 modes. The first one shows the date and time. Press the MODE button again to switch the stopwatch to the measuring mode. 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. The stopwatch displays the number of strokes the swimmer would complete in one minute if they continued to swim at the same stroke rate as recorded. Finis swimming stopwatches feature a dual split memory, which allows you to review cumulative and lap splits simultaneously on the clear LCD screen. The constant review feature allows you to review the current memory whilst taking splits, without the need to stop the watch. Start the stopwatch as the arms become fully extended and the hands come together at the end of the previous stroke.The amount of split and other information a swimming stopwatch can store and retrieve, is down to the size of its memory.
