How do you keep track of your meters swam? I always forget where I am...and probably either over or under swim most of the time.
Believe me, I'd rather just swim the 1000, rather than make it a 1300.
Especially for the postal swim---my lands, how do you keep track of that???!!!

i find counting essential,it allows me chance to pace myself on longer distances,or to sprint harder on shorter distances,when i'm doing say 200m in 25m pool i'll count to myself 1 of 8,2 of 8,3 of 8 ,4 of 8 etc at the end of each length,on longer distances its just 1,2,3,4 etc until say 60 for 1500 metres sometimes i lose count by say 1 length or so but this only means 25m out so not that important shorter distances i never seem to lose count.
