TRAINING
Using a pace clock is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your pacing as an endurance swimmer. Being able to read and use a traditional pace clock is a fail-safe way of training smart using your numbers (i.e.your target pace as determined by your critical swim speed), as many pools will have one on display. Using such a time-proven method to train means you can develop your intuition and judgement, which are vital components of effective pacing skills.
