I swim lots and lots of long distance and often find myself drifting off in thought while staring at the little tiles on the bottom of the pool. Doing sets of 200s or 300s tends not to be a problem...it's the 500 and 1000 yds that I loose concentration. When I start concentrating on technique is when I'm most likely to forget what lap I was on! Is there a gizmo out there to help me out? I envision something I can hang on the wall that would advance with my flipturn. Does anyone have any tricks to help them out with the counting of laps? Thanks!

This may be sacriligeous but does it really make any difference? If I lose count I go back to the last number I can remember, add two, and finish off my swim. In the worse case scenario I'll do a couple extra. (good for me) If my count is right on, well, good for me. The yards don't make the difference, the time/effort in the water does.
