Tell the racer's number to the Timer Coordinator. Once the timer begins, you will watch the start/stop watch and write down each lap time from the stop watch on the count card. Once on their final lap, place sign into the water as they approach the end of the lane. When they have completed their final lap STOP racer and stop watch. You will help racer out of the pool and cheer them on. Make sure to write their final time on the bottom of their count card and wave next the racer to your lane.
