How about just a plain old waterproof watch?

Also an ordinart $3.50 wall clock from Walmart encased in a clear
plastic bag would work.

But not the kind that need to be plugged into an outlet....


No problem there ...

Any way to add a timer to the pump? When the water current stops, time
to get out.

An underwater light that goes off or comes on at the end of a timer
cycle would probably work as well. Or unless pool is in full sunlight
all the time, perhaps a waterproof strobe light above the splash zone,
which could be completely separate from the existing pool setup. Looking
at a dive watch would break the swimming rhythm, and a clock on the
bottom would have to be awful big to be easily readable.
