You're not a sprinter and you're not a pure distance swimmer. Your 50's & 1500's aren't as great as your 200's, 400's, & 500's. Your 100's aren't shabby. Let the D Divas take those 800's, 1000's, 1500's & 1650's. You're caught in the middle. You've got OK speed, but you can do those longer sets that make pure sprinters ill. You're well conditioned and tend to do well with back to back events. You're in great company, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are middle distance swimmers who have excellent 100's but not so great 50's. Man you can train.
This is the middle distance lane. Don't get lapped.

hey couldbebetterfly
would I need to provide my own counter if I entered a 500 or 1000 yd ?
YES, ask a friend to count for you
And is a whistle allowed?
NO only refs have whistles but in masters distance events the ref rings a bell on each swimmers last lap
would the counter need to dunk the board in the pool?
YES,
And are the counting boards provided by the meet?
yes, usually they should be and now some pools offer plastic counters on sticks
