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!

I also don't have trouble with the 100s or 200s ... so I often put in a different stroke for one lap as a marker. swim 75 free 25 back ... then I can just count the laps of backstroke. or 175/25 and count the unusual stroke and stretch out some different muscles while I am at it. It sorts of wakes up technique awareness, too.
