what equipment does a timekeeper need

Hi Ricahrd,
Thanks for your post!

Essentially, the only physical piece of equipment a Timekeeper needs is a stopwatch.

In saying that, the specific type of watch depends on the type of timing used at a particular meet, and the host/venue may already have it themselves.

For more information, we’d recommend you take the short Timekeeper course here:
