There usually is a way to sneak a look at the official timing system clock while you're in the water at some point in the pool. You should be able to figure out that at time X, you've probably done distance Y.
It's not really that big of a deal. You can count in practice without someone putting a counter in the water, right?
Actually, no. That's why I rarely swim over a 500 in workout ... too taxing for my simple mind.
Don't these silly Euros realize that this was the worst thing that ever happened to swimming ?
This championship was close to destroying the swim sport - nobody wants to see all these records being broken by a bunch of cheaters. I am so glad that we can now go back to the 90s and before - I just wish we could also eliminate the dolphin kicks and turn back to the old backstroke turns.
:bump:
There's only an 800, no 1500.

I think that there is something different about counting in a race than counting in practice. I have been able to keep track of my yardage at a recent 30 minutes swim at practice. I guess that I will have to test out solo counting at a 500 for one of our local Masters meets in January.
