I'm am just getting back in the pool to get into shape and to hopefully compete once again, but I find that I am missing my good old friend, the pace clock. I have been working out for close to two months now and want to start using a pace clock for intervals instead of taking "guess" rests of :10, :20, :30 or whatever the workout requires. The pool where I swim does not have a regular clock, and when there is a clock, I have serious doubts as to the precision of the time since the needle usually will get stuck right in the middle of a goal set. Does anyone face this problem and is the only solution to wear a wrist watch with a stop clock built in? It's a darn shame that the pool is world class (ASU rec center), but they cannot even have a functioning pace clock.
Thanks!

I'll take it one step further. My pool finally got a pace clock. I've been guessing rest intervals for over a year. Problem with the pace clock is it is mounted too far away for me to see! Never had that problem as an age grouper or in college! I will start wearing contacts in the pool next week.
