Does anyone know if there are any rules on pacing? I tried to find information on it but couldn't. The question was raised at our meet yesturday when one of the swimmers had someone swim next to her just to pace her on her 500. Is this legal?

    Personally, totally in favor of pace help (even the pulse watch which is illegal while competing):applaud: About any rule against it ever heard . Though a judge might consider inappropriate conduct if is it “obvious the intention”. Have been DQ once for doing legs really slow at a competition (400 freestyle), was a protest:D
