I would imagine that if a real swimmer read this thread they would be laughing at a bunch of people arguing about "real swimmers" and whether or not you should/shouldn't wear a watch....and the fact that your 12th 100 is 3/32's of a second off....therefore the data is useless.

The reason I asked the question in the first place was out of sarcasm. Nevertheless, here we are 6 pages later....and since we are posting pics. Here is one of Lucy in the pool.


I'm certainly laughing at this thread, and also wondering what the definition of a "real swimmer" is. I am 36 and have been swimming competitively for 30 years, and was an Olympic trials level distance freestyler, but yet I am still getting smoked by some adult onset swimmers in IM swim legs. Do you get the honor of being called a real swimmer when you eclipse a certain time, or do you have do have some level of experience?

I think triathletes in general are all smart enough to figure out if wearing a watch helps you in pool training - it is an annoyance and useless for me but go for it if it helps you.
