- Timer (Home and Away)

Timers work in assigned lanes. They push the start button on the stopwatch at the sound of the bullhorn and push the stop button when any part of the swimmer’s body touches the wall at the end of the pool. Timers then record the swimmer’s time on time slips, which will be picked up by the runner. Timers will move and work both deep and shallow ending events.
