Not to long ago on this forum, someone posted a link to a lap counter, maybe even a stopwatch, that was worn like a ring....does that make sense. I believe I would like to purchase one, If I could only find it again. Thanks in advance.

Okay, I am not new at swimming but have never swam competitively. I do not understand all the lingo r/t splits etc. What are splits? I'm also trying to find something that keeps track of counting laps? I try to swim a mile a day, but am tired of counting. I swim in a 25 yard pool
A split is an intermediate interval time, compared with the final time.
For example if you are swimming a 500 free (20 laps in a SCY pool) you might be interested in your time for each 50 or each 100. If you saw that your 50s became progressively slower as the race progressed you are fading and perhaps you swam to fast in the beginning.
Depending on the stopwatch you use, the split might an intermediate accumulated time or the actual interval.
Example:
distance....accum split/interval split
50....40.0/40.0
100....1:30.0/50.0
150....2:20/50.0
200....3:05.0/45.0
