In measuring the period of a pendulum's motion with a stopwatch, you can best minimize the influence of reaction time by measuring period at the maximum swing point, i.e. the point where the pendulum stops and then reverses. It is at that point that the pendulum is moving the slowest. You should also make your line of sight be perpendicular to the swing, in order to minimize parallax error; and you should have a mark of some kind that you can move around to the peak value, then recording the period between successive peak values.
