Online alarm clock for 8:59 am
Finish your last lap and climb out of the ocean pool at 8:59 am, while the water is still calm and the morning crowds have not changed its rhythm. The alarm marks the moment to leave rather than begin another length, with 9:00 am arriving just after you reach for your towel.
During the swim, the alarm page can sit behind another browser tab, but browsers sometimes limit background activity to conserve power. Keep the alarm tab open and check that your sound is audible before getting into the water. If the browser is closed or the phone falls asleep, the alarm cannot sound, so your ocean-pool swim may continue past the planned exit.
Coming out of calm water near 9:00 am can feel different from stepping into the drier air of an indoor pool. Coastal humidity may leave your towel, swimmers and hair damp for longer, even when the outdoor air feels mild. Pack wet gear in a separate ventilated bag, and give yourself a few minutes outside the change room before dressing for the trip home or onward to work.
Common questions
Is there a cost to use this?
No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
