I felt I should add some information about swimming watches but all my swimming coaches have always told me that wearing a watch while swimming breaks your streamline and can hurt other swimmers in your lane.

Below are some swimming watches that are available:

Timex ironman blue. £59.99

Speedo Kids Active Swim Watch. (available in other colours.) $35.

 Zoggs Lap Pro. $60 (I think this watch has been withdrawn due to water getting inside the casing!)

Swimovate pool mate. £69.99 (No guarantee is given as to the accuracy of this watch or it’s lap and stroke counting ability with particular swimmers or strokes)

 

Swimglows – PB Pacer £29.95

Why the PB Pacer is a must have Training Aid for swimmers and triathletes:

Whether your are swimming, running, cycling, driving or rowing you will never need to look at your watch again!

How it works: You have the option of programming upto 60 different linked count down times. The PB Pacer will vibrate after each count down time has elapsed, giving you an indication of your progress without interrupting your swimming stroke.

When using in the swimming pool: If the PB Pacer vibrates before you have reached the end of the pool, you are swimming too slow or if you have reached the end of the pool before the PB Pacer has vibrated, you are swimming too fast.
