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!
The lap counter I mentioned is called the "Speedo Count II Personal Lap Counter." It's available from Kast-a-Way and costs $24.95. The description is: "Compact personal training device with digital readout and adjustable Velcro closure that secures to finger. Allows you to count each lap, track elapsed time and review summary statistics at the end of your workout." You can order it at www.kastawayswimwear.com/. In case you're suspicious, I do NOT get a kickback from Kast-a-Way!
