Counting board pacing - illegal?

aquageek
Are there any rules that prohibit your counter in the 500/1000/1650 from doing board movements to let you know where you are in your pace strategy?

  • No there are none. Most people shake the hell out of that thing near the end of someone's race to send a message to get the swimmer to swim faster... I have been told that it is permitted to "display splits" on the counting board, namely, your counter holds "13" in the water at each x25 of your swim to let you know you've been holding 1:13s for your 100s... granted, this gets a bit confusing for the counter, the swimmer and the timers, but its legal.
