Put the function call into the background:
Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
timer "00:00:10" &
timer "00:00:10" &
Please put code inside [code] tags, as I have done above and below, and indent it for legibility.

The standard syntax for defining functions is:

  IFS=":"

Why use OLD_IFS? Just make IFS local:

local IFS=:

  local ARR=( $1 )
  local SECONDS=$(( (ARR[0] * 60 * 60) + (ARR[1] * 60) + ARR[2] ))
local ARR=( $1 ) local SECONDS=$(( (ARR[0] * 60 * 60) + (ARR[1] * 60) + ARR[2] ))

Bash has a shell variable named SECONDS. It is bad practice to use pre-existing variables.

Using all-uppercase variable names increases your chances of a conflict.

You should kill the background job when you are finished:
Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
kill $!
kill $!
You will have problems trying to display the timer independently of the prompt and user input.

Try printing it at a specific location on the screen:
Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 printf "\e7\e[1:1H%02d:%02d:%02d\e8" \
      $((LEFT/3600)) $(( (LEFT/60)%60)) $((LEFT%60))
printf "\e7\e[1:1H%02d:%02d:%02d\e8" \ $((LEFT/3600)) $(( (LEFT/60)%60)) $((LEFT%60))
