Counters for distance events

Hello! I've never competed at a Master's Nationals, and I was wondering if swimmers are expected to provide their own counters? Kristi

  • The first time I swam at Nationals, I didn't know you needed your own counter. The heats before mine all had counters, so I naturally thought that there would be a counter for me too. Not so!!! And somehow the swimmers on either side of me did not seem to have counters either. Well, you guessed it, I miscounted in my 500 and swam an extra 50. I always have a counter now!!! :)
