A Coachs stopwatch with an ergonomic layout so that it is easy and convenient to use and makes best use of the iPhone screen to display all of the information you need in a single view.

One feature that you dont get on many conventional stopwatches is the stroke rate function (which can also be used by the coach to monitor their athletes foot strikes per minute or cadence on the bike very easily).

The way to use the stroke rate function is as follows;

Click start as the left hand enters the water, then observe as the right hand enters, then the left, and then click stop when the right hand enters the water for the second time.

Following this method, the number you get is the number of strokes per minute (not stroke cycles, which some coaches prefer to use). If you want the number to represent stroke cycles per minute, then do the following;

Click start as the left hand enters the water, then observe as the right hand enters, then the left, then right, then left, then right, then left and then click stop when the right hand enters the water for the fourth time.
