Of course, I never leave the wall at exactly the same time, and I never look up at the clock in exactly the same way, so it's difficult to compare 25 times between workouts.

You should have used a better title for your post, I only found it by clicking on different posts "blindly":joker:
But seriously, I see a lot of swimmers at my pool that seem to be obsessed with the clock and spend most of their workouts sprinting, trying to beat the clock.
But if they did not have the clock poolside would they be able to tell by feel alone if they were on target with their time?
Since I swim breaststroke only and long distance sets at that, I do not bother with the clock, but I can usualy tell if I am "off" by the way my stroke falls apart.
Is it important to use the clock in every workout, like when you swim sets of 500-1000Y/M? Or is it strickly useful for the sprinter?
