Pace Clocks
Speed - every swimmer's obsession. And with good reason - a few tenths of a second can mean the difference between first and second place, or even making the podium at all. This is one of the things a swimmer can control, so we obsess over it.
Keeping track of your splits and hitting your target times is essential to any swimmer's training regime. But what's the best way to do it? There are a few different options out there, but pace clocks are definitely the most popular.
SwimOutlet supports and recognizes swimmers' need for speed with our wide selection of deck equipment like backstroke flags, pool starting blocks, swimming lane lines and many more. Whether you're on the lookout for an electric, standard, or underwater swimming pace clock to time your laps, we've got you covered.

Not sure which pace clock is right for you? Our team is here to help. We carry pace clocks from top brands like Competitor, International Sports Timing, and Colorado.
Choose an electric pace clock if you want the convenience of not having to worry about batteries. These models come with a power cord that plugs into any standard outlet.
Analog or digital? It's up to you. If you want a classic look, go with an analog pace clock. These models have a more traditional design and are powered by batteries. For a modern twist, check out our digital pace clocks. These models are usually powered by batteries or an AC adapter, and some even come with features like an LED display.
Waterproof for Underwater Use
Let's admit it - we've all been there. You're in the middle of a killer set, and you lose track of your laps. Well, not anymore! With a waterproof pace clock, you can see your time even while swimming underwater. No more guessing how many laps you've done or how much time has passed.
These pace clocks are also great for open water swimming.
We also carry a variety of pace clock accessories like swim pace clocks tripods to ensure your clock stays in place.
Pace Clock Buyer's Guide
Frequently, swimmers will ask us which pace clock is the best. And while we can't answer that question definitively, we can provide some guidance.
The first thing you need to decide is whether you want an electric or battery-powered model. In general, there's no right or wrong answer, and it all boils down to personal preference. Electric pace clocks are more expensive, but this also means you don't have to worry about batteries.
If you're looking for a pace clock for open water swimming, we recommend choosing a waterproof model. These clocks are designed to withstand the elements and will provide accurate timing even when submerged.
Do you want an analog or digital display? Again, this is a matter of preference. Analog clocks have a more traditional look and provide more accuracy than digital clocks. Digital clocks, on the other hand, often come with more features, like an LED display and are easier to read.
SwimOutlet takes pride in offering the largest selection of swim pace clocks. We understand that quality and functionality are key in providing our customers with the best products to reach their swimming goals. Check our selection and find the perfect pace clock for you!
How do you read swim pace clocks?

How does a swimming pace clock work?
Pace clocks work by measuring the time it takes for a swimmer to complete one pool lap. The clock starts when the swimmer begins their lap and stops when they finish.
What is a pace clock in swimming?
A pace clock is a timekeeping device used by swimmers to help them keep track of their splits (the time it takes to swim one lap). Pace clocks are usually placed at the end of a pool, and they have a large face with clear markings. Some pace clocks also have a beeper or timer that can be set to go off at certain intervals so that swimmers can keep track of their laps without having to look at the clock all the time.
Why do swim clocks have 4 hands?
Not all swim clocks have 4 hands, but some do. The 4 hands on a swim clock represent the times for the four different strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. This allows swimmers to keep track of their splits for each stroke.
