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!

When I do the longer distances, I count down from the number of laps it takes to finish.
Take a 300, thats 4x3=12 laps,so I count down from 12.
If I forget the last number lap, the last number will either be even or odd so it is easy to figure out by your direction.
