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?
here is a rule according to FINA
SW 10.16 No pace-making shall be permitted, nor may any device be used or plan adopted which has that effect
So if an official thinks you looked at the scoreboard and saw your split during a race, you can be DQ'd.
Right? I don't see any other way to read this (rather silly) rule.
