    Whether you’ve ever used it or not, you’ve probably noticed a clock mounted on the wall at the side of the swimming pool that is not there to tell the time of day. This is a pace clock designed to be used by swimmers and coaches to make structuring and measuring efforts that much easier.

    Do you find using a pace clock easy or difficult? Let us know by leaving a comment? ⏱

      It's difficult at my pool because the clocks are never synchronized at each end. Or is it just me that would find that difficult? 😣

      i have to have a clock of some type for any swim workout. without one i'm just aimlessly swimming. the clock gives you structure.

    Smoother movement than most mechanical watches.

    The clock at my local gym only has one hand! However, it's still very useful. My watch is too difficult to read while swimming and it puts me off my stroke when trying to look at it!

    It would be great if you could suggest some drills which utilise the clock into your training when you are not in a group.

    I've never seen a pace clock like that before. Colours are weird....

    What is a good freestyle time in a 33 metre pool ? Professional standard say!

    I still don't get HOW to use it. You explained a gap of 5 or 10 seconds before swimmers but the hands of the clock has 15 secs gap. We've always used the 1 hand clock. I appreciate all the information but I still don't see why the clock has 4 hands separated by 15 secs.

      So you don't need to wait for a whole minute until hand will be on the top.
