Hi
I have seen links to those Sportcount Ring Lap Counters but do they show strokes ?
Sportcount Ring Lap Counter

I actually don't care about laps. I need to reduce my stroke count for efficiency.
There used to be the Speedo Stroke Counter Watch but I think it's discontinued. It looks like it was a sweet watch/counter !! It's not on the Speedo website :(
Product Description
200 lap memory. Ultimate swimmer's watch. Stroke counter tracks total strokes and average stroke per lap. Lap coutner and timer. Allows you to program pool length and swim style for accurate results. 200 lap memory. Stopwatch/time/date/alarm functions and calorie counter.

Actually I think the problem is that they dont' ship to Canada.
Can someone from the USA surf to that link and see if there is an add to cart button because there isn't for me here in Canada.
Please advise where I can get this watch or other stroke counter.
Also does anyone have a MIO strapless heart rate monitor watch? They are supposed to be great. ECG reading from finger contact on watch face. Many models. All water resistant at 10 to 30 meters.

Yeah, I looked up information specifically about swimming with the HR monitor before I got mine. Your HR will usually be lower in the pool than doing other activities. This is because when you're body starts getting warm and sweating in the pool, the water immediately cools the body off. This cooling effect keeps the body more regulated.
I have no scientific backing to that, but I read it in many places online regarding pools and HR monitors.
However, I have found that my body is not capable of being pushed as long and hard as it is in the pool. So, I can get my HR up higher in the pool because I can physically work that much harder in the pool than I can by jogging or rowing.
