About
SwimPaceTimer is an Apple Watch interval timer for the pool. Three settings, that's it: distance, reps, and your send-off cycle.
MADE FOR SWIMMERS WHO
- are tired of watching the pace clock and counting in their head
- just want to hold a send-off without fiddling with settings mid-set
WHAT IT DOES
- Build a set: distance x reps x send-off cycle (e.g. 25yd x 5 @ 1:30)
- Tap start, get 5 seconds on the wall, then push off on the buzz
- A heads-up buzz 5 seconds out, then a start buzz - hold your cycle without looking at your wrist
- Countdown ring, rep dots, heart rate, split and total time at a glance
- Live heart rate on screen while you swim
WORKS ALONGSIDE THE WORKOUT APP
SwimPaceTimer is a send-off timer, not a tracker. It never takes over a workout you are already recording. Start a pool swim in the built-in Workout app if you want it saved to Health — that also turns on Water Lock for you — then let SwimPaceTimer handle the send-offs.
BUILT FOR THE WATER
Screens are hard to read and harder to tap when you're wet. Set everything on the wall before you push off, then swim - your wrist tells you when to go.
Yards or meters follows your region automatically.

• The lead-in is now adjustable from 5 to 60 seconds (20s by default) — five seconds was not enough to turn on Water Lock and get to the wall. • The lead-in screen shows how to turn on Water Lock, and confirms when it is on. • Buzzes at 10s, 5s, and 3-2-1 so you can follow the lead-in with the screen off.
