I suppose this is an inexperienced swimmer problem, but I have a terrible time trying to keep track of my distance in longer sets. Pretty much anything over 300 and I start to lose track ("oh rats, does this lap make 400 or 450?"). I'm not normally the flighty forgetful type, really, but I get in the water and I seem to lose all short-term memory. :o I thought about getting one of those lap counter thingies but it seems like it would be a hassle to have to punch a button on every turn. Is there a trick to keeping track of these things? I love swimming longer distances, but it's disorienting to be in the middle of a warmup or set and suddenly realize I have no idea how far along I am.

Why just today, I was swimmign a 1600. I thought, "Gee, is this lap 32 or 34?" I almost always get confused when I'm inthe thirties, especially if I'm really focusing on stroke count.
