Being a counter for a teammate can take time away from your own warmup, stretching, and mental preparation for races, so when someone does volunteer to count, it means that much more. There are also a very specific set of things that will definitely happen when you count. Here are a few:
Like it or not, you’re going to get splashed by your teammate as they turn. If you’re lucky enough to get a counter with a stick on the end, it’ll probably be just your feet (so maybe don’t wear your sneakers to count), but if you get stuck with the regular old hand counter, you’ll feel like you’re in the splash zone at Sea World. Leave your phone and iPod on the bleachers–they’re safer over there.
Even if you’ve never made a mistake counting before and you’re absolutely sure of where your teammate is in his or her race, you’re almost definitely going to look at the counters in the lanes next to you to make sure you don’t mess up. Better safe than sorry, right?
