pace clock

A pace clock is a timing device used in swimming to help swimmers and coaches monitor performance. It features a large, visible display that shows elapsed time, typically starting at zero and counting up. Swimmers use it to see how long it takes to complete a set or lap, allowing them to pace themselves consistently throughout their workout. Coaches often use the pace clock to time intervals, ensuring the swimmer maintains desired speeds or rests appropriately between sets. It is an essential tool for realistic self-monitoring and improving swim training efficiency.
