3. The Head Timer organizes timers prior to the meet gives out watches gives instructions answers questions assigns lanes and serves as a backup timer Beginning in 2007 a new method of timing and recording was developed using TWO watches one blue and one green per timer The timer starts one watch e g blue for heat 1 and that watch is stopped but not cleared at the end of the heat The following heat 2 is then started on the other cleared watch e g green Once that heat 2 is in the water the times from the previous heat 1 are recorded from the blue watch and that watch is cleared When the following heat 2 is complete the green watch is stopped but not cleared The next heat 3 is started on the cleared blue watch Once that heat 3 is in the water times from heat 2 are recorded from the green watch and that watch is cleared This process continually repeats itself throughout the meet with the timers not recording times from heats until the following heat is started with another watch Timers must keep one cleared watch available at all times so as not to delay the start of any heat One timer in each lane should have a small clipboard and a pencil This timer takes the timing card from the swimmer and verifies name event heat and lane and initials the card in the upper right hand corner to confirm this information In addition this timer will record all times given by each timer at the end of the race and initial the Initials
4.
