Hi
I have seen links to those Sportcount Ring Lap Counters but do they show strokes ?
Sportcount Ring Lap Counter
www.swim-shop.com/product_info.php
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.

The SportCount Ring Lap Counter doesn't count strokes, though it's a good, reliable tool if all you want is to time your laps.
I have a Speedo Stroke Monitor:
worldwideaquatics.com/.../default.asp
and it served me well for 8 years. But the waterproof seal on it finally went last year, so now it's only good as a regular watch, and the Speedo company has stopped making it.
I bought one of the Speedo Stroke Counter watches, which counted strokes and also somehow had the ability to detect when you started swimming and when you turned, so it could count both your strokes and your laps. But after a few months, the buttons on it stopped working one by one, and (while I didn't have anyone open it and look inside) it appeared as though this might be because it was not completely waterproof. It's interesting to note that the Speedo company made a ring lap counter that worked something like the SportCount, and it also leaked water (and I did have that verified). So it appears that Speedo has had to discontinue two swimming watches because they no longer know how to make a watch waterproof!
