You can count the time taken for 25 swings of the pendulum then divide the time measured by 25 swings to get a more accurate time for one swing of the pendulum.
Example:
25 swings take 55 seconds.
To find the time taken for one swing, divide 55 seconds by 25 swings:
55 ÷ 25 = 2.2 seconds
Therefore it takes 2.2 seconds for one swing.
