I just saw in the Kiefer catalog something called the Time Window. It is a small device that you attach to your goggles and you can see your time as you swim. Has anyone used these? If so, what do you think? Do they work?
Thanks,

Because I don't live anywhere near a swim team, I swim workouts by myself. I've have been on the lookout for some sort of timing device and saw those little goggle timer thingies but decided against it. So... in an effort to improve my workouts, my husband made me a little personal pace clock that I carry with me. I went to "X"mart and purchased a really cheap quartz clock on sale for 4.99. My husband then built a little stand that will withstand wind gusts and screwed the clock onto it. I wrapped it in clear plastic wrap to protect it from flipturn spash, and now, I have a great inexpensive pace clock!!!!! It's not perfect.... but better than nothing. AND.... I have noticed that ever since I have started doing timed splits, even slow ones, I am improving. I thank this forum for getting me out of the ole back and forth mode and into a more sophisticated workout schedule. Quality, not quantity is paying off. Cheers, barb
