Concept 1.
The Pocket Pro Swimming App, Pocket Pro HL400-R, gives users access to timekeeping
functions dedicated to swimming training and events.
Three swimming-specific modes offer the possibility to record and analyse number of
strokes, differential times, average strokes as well as comparing the times of 2 swimmers at
the same time and even timing of up to 9 swimmers with a mass start method.
All 3 modes offer the complete solution for swimming teachers and coaches with the added
benefit to download all data and times for post training / event calculations and results.
Together with its integrated USB connector; free POCKET MANAGER Application and
Pocket-Pro 800 measurements internal memory, this device makes downloading, analysis,
printing and archiving of results extremely simple.
Results can also be viewed or printed from your laptop or pc instantly
The USB connector (HL400-4) enables connection to a photocell, a manual switch or a
wireless radio input (HL615, HL675).
Pocket Pro Manager adjusts a Lock Time for the USB Input.
Note:
Pressing the hard reset (to the right of the USB connector) resets the Lock
Time value to 0.01 sec (minium)

Specifics Swimming Mode 3.
Pocket Pro Swimming has 3 specific modes available for swim training sessions or
competitions. NOTE: You must erase all memorised data before moving between
modes. To do this press and hold the Memory button and also press the
Start/Stop button. You will then be able to select a different mode.
A: Training with stroke record
In this mode, you can define the length of the pool (25 or 50m), record the
number of strokes by pool crossings, as well as times for every length.
At the end of each session you are able to recall on Pocket Pro LCD or
download and view the number of strokes for every length, average stroke
rate, total swim distance, average lengths per minute and total time.
B: Dual competitor time training.
Dual mode allows comparative timing of two swimmers consecutively from
a single start for training or competition. Each length can be timed
individually for each swimmer. Post session analysis via the Pocket Pro
LCD or from the downloaded data provides you with times for every length
for each swimmer along with the gap times.
C: Training session up to 9 competitors
This timing mode allows you to time up to 9 competitors with a single
mass start and individual finishes.
The result shows you individual swimmers time and gap time.
3.1. Training with stroke record (mode A)
In this mode, you define the length of the pool (25m or 50m), record the number of
strokes for each length as well as each split time.
Post session you will be able to view every length with split times, strokes and
distance covered. Downloading the data from Pocket Pro using the Pocket Pro
Manager software provides you with an even more detailed analysis.
