Counting board pacing - illegal?

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?

  • There is no issue about “wearing a pacing device.” It is illegal to wear a pacing device. Now if you wanted to wear your lap counter, this would be an issue. In USMS rules as long as your counter is counting either up or down, there is no prohibition against any lap counter movement. FINA and other swimming organizations have other lap counting rules.
