I am looking for an underwater lap counter/timer. What are your suggestions? What features are most important to you? What has been your experiences with lap counters?
This isn't really an answer to your question, but it brought up one that I've though of often - How do Olympians keep track of their laps? I know they don't grab a teammate 30 seconds before the race to go to the deep end with cards on a stick. (As I have been wont to do.) Is it that the ability to count to 30, unaided, is part of what makes you a swimmer at the elite level?
