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?)
How would wearing a watch in a race be helpful in any way whatsoever? How can you even glance at it without disrupting what you are supposed to be doing? Glancing at a clock on the wall can be done with no interruption in form, but glancing at a watch on your wrist?? Seriously?? What am I missing here?
I'm not sure if any watches have this feature, but what if a watch could give an audible signal at a regular interval? With that feature you could set your stroke cadence and that would be considered pacing.
At meets all pace clocks within view of the competition pool should be turned off. That doesn't mean they always are, of course.
