Swimming Stopwatch
About the Swimming Stopwatch
Pool decks are wet, loud, and glare-heavy - the worst environment for delicate timing gear. The swimming stopwatch is built for that reality: high-contrast digits you can read through splash, big lap buttons you can hit with a damp finger, and a split list organized the way swim coaches actually talk - length one, length two, cumulative set time. Parents timing a child from the stands get the same tool coaches use on deck: start when the swimmer leaves the wall, lap at each touch, and the list shows whether the second half of a set is fading. Coaches running 10x100 on an interval can lap each hundred and read the pattern without a dedicated console.
How to use it
- Open the swimming stopwatch on a deck-safe device at full brightness.
- Start as the swimmer leaves the wall on the first length.
- Lap at each wall touch, not at the breath or stand-up.
- Read the newest split on top while the next swimmer is mid-pool.
- Copy the set splits into your log before reset for the next group.
Good to know
The stopwatch counts while this tab is open. A slept tab can pause or jump. For a race result you may need to keep the phone unlocked in your hand.
