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?

  • 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 rule exists about moving the lap counting cards. That said, I believe that using the lap counter for displaying splits is a clear violation of both the spirit and letter of the rules regarding use of a pacing device. The swimmer should be disqualified.
