Another newbie question: how do you keep count of how many strokes/lengths/laps?

When I run, I well count on my fingers and it works pretty well, but I can't quite as easily have my fingernails pressing into my skin as I swim. Thanks in advance, B
I've always been bad about "how many laps am I on" that's why I don't do distance swims or work outs. I lose track just doing 4 sets of 100's. But I did find an easy way to help me count sets if I don't use my watch. The "black T" that marks the lanes on the wall is made up of 4 tiles across. So every time I finish a 100 or 50 I touch a tile, I can remember which tile I touched easier than counting my sets- At least up to 4 tile sets, then repeat if doing more than 4 tiles. - It's kinda a silly but works for me.
Hey, whatever works. I used to slap the deck after each repeat with the number of slaps being the number of the one I just finished.
