Apologies if this seems to be a really strange topic. :)
So, as I continue to do flip-turn drills, with a goal of doing flip-turns at my next meet (several months from now), something occurred to me:
How do you know your split-times in a particular swim when doing flip-turns?
Does it matter? (It matters to me, but am I a silly OCD/Newbie/ex-runner?)

Sorry, I was going to add more to my initial post but I had to suddenly run off.
At Olympics, etc, do the world's best have an awareness of splits? Are underwater clocks available for them?
As a somewhat competitive runner, this was crucial to me. And now as a Newbie swimmer who can glance at the clock during open turns, I have the luxury of knowing/adjusting my pace.
But yes, I now understand that we can glance just before/after flipping.
