+Touch
Function
This key allows you to add a pad touch when the swimmer in a given lane missed a touch. The
System 6 will indicate if a swimmer may have missed a touch by changing the color of the
corresponding lane box on the screen from white to orange. The timer determines if a swimmer
may have missed a touch by comparing the time for the current lap to the split time for the
previous lap.
