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?)
Thanks Calvin S.
I'm very surprised that, in 2019, a rule is influenced by universal access to timing devices. I would think that swimming pools themselves are much harder to acquire in certain populations.
Please note mine was just an educated guess as to why they have the rule. I’m sure there are multiple reasons why, but I gave up understanding FINA, FIFA, FIBA, and every other French international governing body for sports years ago.
