A swimming timer including a fluid container, a fluid channel, a fluid sensor, a control circuit board and a display device. The fluid channel is connected to the fluid container and the fluid sensor, and the control circuit board is wired with the fluid sensor and the display device. The fluid container is installed and mounted on a side-wall of a swimming lane. When a swimmer starts, turns and stops, the fluid container will be touched and compressed forcing the fluid inside to flow into the fluid channel. The fluid sensor detects the fluid flow and generates electronic signals accordingly for the control circuit board and the built-in timing and stopwatch program to use as the input commands of start, lap and stop to compute the swimming time and the number of swimming laps. The display device is to show the results for the swimmer reference.

A reusable adhesive pad with embedded magnets consists of a layer of fibrous cloth with elasticity, a layer of silicone gel padding, and permanent magnets. The fibrous cloth with elasticity is made from fiber materials with a stretchable characteristic. The silicone gel padding is spread out fully and glued on one surface of the fibrous cloth with elasticity. In addition, the silicone gel padding is provided with holes that the permanent magnets with cylindrical or conical outers can be filled in and glued to the adhesive surface of the fibrous cloth with elasticity. Since the other sides of the permanent magnets protrude outwards the surface of the silicone gel padding, applying the invention to the human skin can perform the acupuncture and moxibustion treatment and the magneto-therapy to lessen painful discomfort.
