Asking for a friend :) If the person counting lengths next to you repeatedly questions your count in the 1650 and then reluctantly admits she's not sure if she's correct, is it OK to push her in the pool?
On a related note someone at Nationals was telling me his timers gave him the bell at the end of the race rather than with a 50 remaining. He had a moment of panic when he wasn't sure if he was finished or still had another 50 to go!
Whenever I've swum events that had a timer and a bell ringer they were different people. The timer was someone I selected (or who volunteered to help me), while the bell ringer was an official of some sort.
They were also at different ends of the pool.
Have they now combined the roles?
