Timekeeper
The Timekeepers are located behind the starting blocks of their respective lanes at the start end of the pool and are responsible for the timing of swimmers using the semi-automatic timing equipment (plungers) and / or watches. Two timers per lane are generally required for a session.
This is one of the very first positions a new official will be assigned to as they learn about swimming competitions. The Introduction to Swimming Officiating clinic covers the Timekeeper position.
